Gov. Ned Lamont has announced a proposal to cancel overdue medical debts.
The state would invest $20 million in federal COVID-19 recovery funding it received from the American Rescue Plan.
That money would be used to hire a nonprofit that buys medical debt and eliminates it.
Lamont said there would be no application process.
