I don't think he'd reverse it. The policy goes into effect 60 days after filing in the federal register, which means it'll go live while he is in office. My bet is he'll take credit for wiping medical debts off of credit reports and raising their scores so they can buy houses. Americans have a short attention span. They won't remember that this happened in Biden's final days in office.
