Some more things that didn’t suck in 2025

Hey, first!  If you value what we do, this is the best-ever time to support our work. We have SO much work ahead in 2026. Donate here. We’re back for another look at things that – believe it or not – did NOT suck in 2025.  Specifically: new state laws from around the country aimed at protecting people from things like medical debt, insurance delays and denials, and corporate profiteering.   In this episode, we dive into two examples from opposite sides of the country to look at how laws like these get made – and in some cases, defended.  In Maine, lawmakers unanimously voted to remove medical debts from people’s credit reports. While a nationwide court ruling raises questions about the new law’s future, we’ll hear why consumer rights attorney Chi Chi Wu remains optimistic.   And in Oregon, a law aims to prevent big corporations and private equity firms from taking over medical clinics and strip-mining them for profits. Plus, a good-news update from our team at An Arm and a Leg.  Here's a transcript of this episode.  Send your stories and questions! Or call 724 ARM-N-LEG.
