Illinois erased $1.1 billion in medical debt for 500,000 low-income residents automatically.
Illinois has canceled $1.1 billion in medical debt for over 500,000 families with no application required.
Led by Governor J.B. Pritzker and executed with nonprofit Undue Medical Debt, the program forgave bills for residents earning below 400% of the federal poverty level or with medical debt equal to 5% or more of their income.
The initiative, which automatically relieved financial stress from unexpected medical costs like emergencies or chronic illness, aims to improve credit scores and long-term stability.
Pritzker cited past federal policies as a driver of rising healthcare costs and emphasized the state’s effort to protect residents.
