Instead of that get rid of credit. It’s a social class system to show who’s more worthy of renting or purchasing. Terrible system.

0:50 Key word: MOST. Most Americans. If the proposal does pass, whose medical bills will still be on their credit report?

So we can qualify them for loans they cannot really afford? Just because the debt isn’t listed doesn’t mean not still owed.

i'm actually okay with this. The medical industry is completely broken in this country. Doctors treat patients like a number and an overwhelming majority of doctors view medicine as prescribing drugs

Can we please eliminate the credit SCORING PERIOD? The fact a person can pay their bills on time every month no discrepancies, and doesn’t want one credit card to depend on, and to be made to feel they are not responsible because they don’t want a line of credit, or a credit card that base consumers credit history on their ability to utilize only 30% of a approved credit card(s) that’s available to them should be against the law. Responsibility should be based on if the consumer pays on time or not. No credit card needed. No scoring needed. America is being destroyed little by little. Food, Shelter, Clothing, add Medical and prescribed monitored Medication for all.

Very bad idea. Debt is debt and it shows lenders whether you can handle more or not.
