Colorado residents owe about $1 billion in medical debt. The sky-high number is a small portion of the nation’s medical debt estimated around $220 billion, according to a 2024 analysis by Peterson Center on Healthcare and KFF, formerly the Kaiser Family Foundation.

KHOU 11+ to stream debate between Republican candidates for Texas Attorney General | Here's how to watch
Back in April, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that, after serving three consecutive four-year terms in his role, he would be vacating his position to instead challenge incumbent John Cornyn for his seat representing Texas in the U.S. Senate. In doing so, he not only set up a truly contentious GOP primary for a Senate race that's also turned into a juggernaut on both sides of the aisle, but he also left a massive void in his wake in the AG's office. More than just one of the hottest races to watch across the state in the upcoming March 3 primary election, the GOP primary for Texas Attorney General has also turned into one of the most crowded, chaotic and combative races on the ballot.
