Warren County Democrats Join National Effort to Help Neighbors Address Medical Debt
The Warren County Democratic Party announced on September 1, that it is joining a national effort to help neighbors confront the high cost of healthcare in America.
You shouldn’t go into debt for getting sick. But in places like Warren County, that outcome is far too familiar. The national campaign will share stories and raise money to relieve medical debt for families in counties like Warren County, all across Iowa.
“Medical debt is not usually the result of poor choices. It is because even a simple illness or injury can cost thousands of dollars. Getting appendicitis is just bad luck, not a consequence of unhealthy choices,” said Jim Culbert, Chair of the Warren County Democratic Party. “Lifting the burden of medical debt can put people back on the path to a better, more productive life!
The Warren County Democratic Party is asking residents to submit short videos on how medical debt or the high cost of healthcare has impacted them or someone they love. They believe that the more people share their story, the harder it will become to ignore what medical debt is doing to families across the country.
“Having medical debt can feel shameful, something you don’t want to talk about. But so many people are in the same boat. Speaking up, testifying to your story, can have a real impact. For some, it is a realization that you are not alone, and for some more fortunate people, it can bring awareness,” said Culbert.
Alongside the goal of debt relief itself, the program supports authentic storytelling from community members affected by medical debt and the challenges in our healthcare system. Community members can share their story in just a few minutes. They can also find their county party to learn more or get involved.

Phone Bank For Christina Bohannan
Reaching every voter in District 1 is crucial to electing Christina Bohannan as our next member of Congress. We are knocking doors in many small towns across the district, but the best way to reach many rural voters is on the phone. Therefore, every Thursday between 6:30 and 8:00PM, we will host a virtual phone bank for Christina Bohannan for Congress. We will use a dialer, so you must be on the call during this time period to participate. Training will be provided, whether you jump on at 6:30 or at 7:30.
Christina’s race is one of the closest congressional races in the country. Every contact with a voter matters. Phone banking is a good alternative for those who do not knock doors. Please sign up for as many Thursdays as you can! THANK YOU! We can’t do this without you!!
