Fat Joe claims that 100 million Americans are in debt due to hospital bills. He is collaborating with Congress to address what he perceives as an avaricious healthcare system.
The rapper expressed his support for significant reforms in the operations of hospitals and health insurance companies during his appearance on “TMZ Live.”

Fat Joe believes that most people are unaware of the cost of medical care until after receiving it, leading to an overwhelming amount of debt due to the lack of transparency.
For almost a year, he has been an advocate for change and recently hosted about 500 lawmakers and government officials to promote healthcare advocacy through the Power to the Patients group.
According to Fat Joe, only 27 cents of every dollar charged at hospitals is allocated to medical staff and procedures, while the rest goes to hospitals and insurance companies.
He asserts that individuals already struggling to afford medical treatments are being informed of increased costs, which he believes is an attempt by hospitals and insurance companies to maximize profits.

Fat Joe is urging Congress to overhaul the system to prevent imposing hidden costs and fees on individuals seeking medical treatment.
His efforts are driven by the belief that this issue affects all segments of society and he is the right person to unite everyone on this important matter.
