Two health centers in Michigan and a microhospital in Oklahoma are separately forgiving medical debt to help patients who may be struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Wellston Medical Center and Primary Health Services of Ludington, Mich., will forgive $214,000 in medical debt for thousands of patients, according to 9&10 News, a local news station. The owners said they want to ease financial burdens its patients are facing during the pandemic.
In Oklahoma, Tulsa ER & Hospital said it will forgive $2.1 million in outstanding medical debt for patients who received service at the physician-owned microhospital from December 2019 through April 1. The hospital will also be waiving patients' out-of-pocket costs for COVID-19 care during the pandemic if a patient's insurer doesn't cover the cost, according to Fox 23 News.
Now Pelosi is kicking herself for not getting her Botox injections in Michigan or Oklahoma.
Maybe irrelevant,but I had $50,000 worth of medical bills that insurance would not cover. Someone or something wiped the debt. Maybe I had a guardian angel or the system wipes debt to make it look better. I very well know they have the ability to ruin your life to collect. It is really unheard of that medical debt and student loan debt are forgiven out of the blue.
