There was legislation by the one party that everyone says is like the other to limit it and a president at that time whose ftc worked to limit it. This was recent though being 2023. Obviously no one wanted to have horrible things like they had in those years come the 2024 election. /s - sorry I every once in awhile mention how biden was the best president of my lifetime and when challenged list off a bunch of things he did in his one term and despite all the things I list I forget things like this.

just heard trump is reversing the biden era medical debt can't go on credit report. I really don't get how his supporters don't see him reversing things which I can't believe anyone would not want.
