Donald Trump stabs Americans in the back by allowing corporations to put medical debt BACK on your credit report.

Apparently, getting sick is now a moral failing in Trumpworld.

While millions of Americans are struggling to keep up with skyrocketing healthcare costs, Donald Trump’s Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — led by MAGA loyalist and Project 2025 architect Russell Vought — just made a stunning move: they’re trying to stop states from wiping medical debt off people’s credit reports.

Yes, you read that right. As families face historic spikes in healthcare premiums — thanks to Republicans blocking Affordable Care Act subsidies — Trump’s CFPB wants to protect Equifax and Experian, not you.

According to new reporting from The Lever and Bloomberg Law, the Trump-controlled CFPB plans to issue an “interpretive rule” saying federal law overrides state laws that protect patients from having their medical bills destroy their credit. In plain English? Trump’s team is telling states, “You can’t help your citizens.” Let that sink in.

California, New York, Colorado, Maine, and over a dozen other states have passed laws to shield their residents from predatory credit reporting of medical debt. These are common-sense reforms — because medical debt doesn’t say anything about whether you’re financially irresponsible; it just says you got sick in a country where healthcare costs more than rent.

But Trump’s CFPB is siding with the credit reporting lobbyists — the same corporations that helped tank millions of Americans’ credit scores during the pandemic. The Consumer Data Industry Association, which represents the Big Three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion), is using this Trump-era argument to sue states that dared to protect consumers.

Consumer advocate Chi Chi Wu of the National Consumer Law Center called the move “salt in the wound.” That’s putting it mildly. Tens of millions of Americans are already drowning in medical debt, with roughly 1 in 5 having it on their credit report. The average adult in medical debt owes over $1,000 — not because they were reckless, but because our healthcare system is.

And now Trump’s CFPB wants to make sure your suffering sticks around — to haunt your credit score, your loan applications, your job prospects.

As Century Foundation president Julie Margetta Morgan warned, the GOP’s refusal to extend ACA subsidies is about to send premiums soaring — and “pour gasoline on the already raging fire of medical debt.”

So while MAGA Republicans scream about “freedom,” what they’re really fighting for is the freedom of corporations to punish you for getting cancer, breaking a bone, or giving birth.

This isn’t “draining the swamp.” It’s weaponizing the system against ordinary Americans — to protect the profits of the very industries that put us in debt in the first place.

Remember this the next time Trump pretends to care about “working-class Americans.” Because when it comes down to it, he’ll always choose Wall Street over Main Street — and your hospital bill will prove it.
