Trump Plan: Your Medical Debt, Now Credit-Score Official!
The mainstream media covers the potential for millions more Americans to have medical debt weaponized against their credit scores, courtesy of a proposed Trump administration policy. What they gloss over, however, is the sheer audacity of leveraging personal tragedy—illness, accident, chronic conditions—as a metric for financial credibility. This isn't just about 'debt'; it's about criminalizing
the vulnerable, turning a healthcare crisis into a credit crisis. Instead of addressing the astronomical costs of healthcare that bankrupt families daily, the 'solution' is to ensure that surviving a serious illness makes it harder to buy a home or even get a car loan. It's a testament to priorities: penalize the sick, uphold the predatory lending models. One might wonder if the next step is a
moral character score based on how many preventable diseases you've managed to avoid.
