The city of Saint Paul is using funds from the American Rescue Plan to cancel roughly $110 million in medical debt for residents.

"It's a win for everyone," St. Paul Mayor Melvin Cater said. "And it's just the beginning." 32,000 people will receive a surprise notice in the mail from St. Paul and Undue Medica

St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter says the goal is to help 43,000 St. Paul residents who are struggling to pay for expenses to become medical debt-free within the year. These people are either considered to be low-income or have very high bills.
