On Thursday, Kerr and Spiegel announced they're partnering with the nonprofit Undue Medical Debt to erase more than $550 million in unpaid medical bills, providing relief to an estimated 261,000 people across California. Families don't have to apply, fill out paperwork, or prove financial hardship after the fact. If they qualify, they'll receive a letter letting them know their debt has been forgiven.
