What to Know…
In the past forty years, medical costs have doubled, insurance copays and deductibles have spiked, and bankruptcy rates have quadrupled creating an avalanche of destructive medical debt. More than 60% of bankruptcies in America have medical debt as a root cause. Hospitals have closed throughout Georgia, a problem predating the chaos of 2020, leaving many without viable options for medical treatment. Rural and exurban areas have increasingly limited access to healthcare as well as some of the nation’s worst health outcomes. This campaign is an effort to clear away as much existing medical debt as we can access throughout the state to provide a form of economic relief.
How to Help
RIP Medical Debt uses your donations to purchase bundled medical debt portfolios from hospitals and on the secondary debt market, and then forgives that debt at pennies on the dollar.
When debt relief recipients open the yellow envelope from RIP, they are told that their debt has been bought by a third party and erased with no strings attached. They owe nothing on the debt and face no tax penalty.
We frequently have access to large amounts of medical debt throughout the state of Georgia. If something can be done, how can we say no? Abolishing medical debt gives people and their families the self-determination they need to start fresh, buy a car, move out of substandard housing, or go back to school. Eliminating this medical debt means millions of renewed access to credit, buying power, stable housing, and basic necessities. On average, $1 is leveraged to abolish $100 in medical debt, and every donation through this page will be spent directly on abolishing medical debt in Georgia. Please join us today!

How RIP Works
Over a hundred million Americans, one in three, struggles with the weight of medical debt.
-
You make a donation
We use data analytics to pinpoint the debt of those most in need: households that earn less than 4x the federal poverty level (varies by state, family size) or whose debts are 5% or more of annual income.
-
RIP buys medical debt at a steep discount
We buy debt in bundles, millions of dollars at a time at a fraction of the original cost. This means your donation relieves about 100x its value in medical debt.
-
Together we wipe out medical debt
People across the country receive letters that their debt has been erased. They have no tax consequences or penalties to consider. Just like that, they’re free of medical debt.
