Orange County just approved $2 million more to wipe out medical debt — bringing total investment to $6.5 million — helping erase over $200 million in bills and reaching another 100,000 residents through a bold partnership with nonprofit Undue Medical Debt, which buys up debts for pennies on the dollar and cancels them. Since 2024, the program has cleared $637 million in debt for 427,000 people, using federal ARPA funds that must be spent by Dec 2026.
