79 million Americans are burdened by medical debt for the “crime” of getting sick. We’re going to eliminate all past-due medical debt. #EliminateMedicalDebt
My friend @KillerMike is right. We are not going to wait any longer for justice and basic rights. The time for a political revolution is now.

Here is my promise: when we are in the White House we will fight to make sure that no one in America goes bankrupt because they got sick. We will #EliminateMedicalDebt. And we have a plan to do that.

The U.S is the only major country on earth where you can lose your house, car or have your wages garnished because you can't afford to pay a medical bill. That's unconscionable & unacceptable. When Bernie is president we're going to #EliminateMedicalDebt.
In the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, one illness or disease should not ruin a family’s financial life and future. #EliminateMedicalDebt

When my aunt got breast cancer, that should have been her only concern. Not paying for the $95k bill that came after her first round of chemo, or the bills that keep piling now that the cancer came back. We need to #EliminateMedicalDebt now.

When you get sick, you should focus on getting better — not dealing with debt collectors.
We will eliminate all past-due medical debt in America. #EliminateMedicalDebt
