Meanwhile, in Orange County, Central Florida Jobs With Justice says at least 250,000 residents are consumed with medical debt and now members of that group are asking leaders for help.

  • Central Florida Jobs With Justice is asking Orange County leadership to help wipe out medical debt for thousands of people in Orange County by using money from the American Rescue Plan provided to governments to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    • "I'm really looking forward to any opportunity to meet with the county to see how we can make this work," said Sam Delgado from Central Florida Jobs with Justice.
