January 24, 202301.24.23 Medical Debt: Of Ambulances & Nonprofits / Clark’s Radical Traffic Solution
While recent changes to medical debt credit reporting will help, medical debt accounts for half the negative marks on credit reports, due in part to the medical industry’s resistance to lawful price disclosure under the No Surprises Act - which unfortunately excludes ambulance service.

But in this case, increased supply creates new demand. Clark offers a free market solution.
