Some lucky Ohio residents could be getting some good news about their medical debt.
On Wednesday, the council of Toledo approved a proposal giving $800,000 to wipe out the medical debt of its residents. The measure was approved after the city was joined by commissioners from Lucas County, which includes Toledo, who said the county would contribute $800,000 to the debt forgiveness effort. That brought the total to $1.6 million, which is expected to eliminate up to $240 million in medical debt for residents, Toledo councilwoman Michele Grim told Fortune.
