When someone or their child or loved one is sick, injured, disabled, or chronically ill, the last thing they should have to worry about is affording medical care; however we live in a horrible sick society where that is exactly what happens! The exorbitant medical costs of our healthcare system cause a serious financial problem for 26% of American adults each year, so much so that medical debt is the #1 cause of consumer bankruptcy in the country.
But in our lives we have friends and community who come together to support each other in so many ways. And while of course we can keep organizing for a better world, right now, we can also help cancel medical debt for members of our Philadelphia community. And not only that, we can then throw a wild party where we ceremoniously BURN IT at the Walmart pier (or maybe somewhere else. Don’t hold us to the location yet).
Here’s how it works: RIP Medical Debt purchases debt in bulk from secondary markets where it averages $1 for $100 of debt. When we raise $10,000 we will be able to cancel potentially a MILLION DOLLARS of medical debt.
SO now is the time where we get to work; We have faith that our weird and wonderful group of friends can raise 10k in order to cancel some debt and throw a wild party. So let’s do it!

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.
