MICHIGAN - Michigan is taking another step to eliminate medical debt for thousands of residents. The state announced on Monday it will wipe out $74 million in medical debt for over 71,000 individuals. This is the second round of a program that began last year, which in total has now forgiven more than $200 million in debt for roughly 280,000 Michiganders. Officials say about 1 in 11 adults in Michigan report having at least $250 in medical debt. The state is working with Undue Medical Debt to administer the relief. Meanwhile, state lawmakers are considering bills that would offer more protection against medical bill collections.
