A need for policies

Wage garnishment related to medical debt is a social problem that impacts individuals' financial stability and can lead to a cycle of debt and poverty. Many individuals face medical debt due to high health care costs in the US. When their wages are garnished, it can lead to difficulty in paying for basic necessities such as housing, food, and transportation. Additionally, it can lead to decreased job satisfaction and increased stress levels, impacting overall wellbeing. There is a need for policies that address the issue of medical debt and reduce the impact of wage garnishment on individuals and families. All lives matter more than wage garnishment associated with medical debt.
