Gov. Ned Lamont said he plans to cancel $1 billion in medical debt for an estimated 250,000 eligible Connecticut residents.
The announcement came during an exclusive interview on ABC’s "Good Morning America" on Friday.
The bold move will make Connecticut the first state in the nation to erase medical debt for a sizable swath of residents.
"This is not something they did because they were spending too much money," Lamont said on the broadcast. "This is simply because they got hit with a medical emergency. They should not have to, you know, suffer twice — first with the illness and then with the debt."
