Attorney General Forum
Some Minnesotans are losing access to health care because they owe a medical debt to a clinic or a hospital. This is a source of great concern for patients who need care, doctors who provide that care, and the Attorney General’s Office.
Join Attorney General Ellison, staff of the Attorney General’s Office, and community members for a forum on these issues on Wednesday, August 23 from 5:30 to 7:00 pm at the Minnesota Department of Revenue, 600 Robert St N, St Paul, MN 55101, Room 2000 to learn more about this challenge and share your story.
If you or someone you love has lost access to care because of medical debt, please attend and please consider sharing your story.
If you have questions, please contact Matt Gladue at 651-300-8175 or Marco Hernandez at 651-300-8718.

Stay in Touch
