Abolish NJ Medical Debt In Honor of Steve Sisco

The Problem 

In the past forty years, medical costs have doubled, insurance copays and deductibles have spiked, and individual bankruptcy rates have quadrupled, creating an avalanche of destructive medical debt. More than 60% of individual bankruptcies in America now have medical debt as a root cause and nearly 17% of New Jersey adults have medical debts that are passed due.

How You Can Help 

RIP Medical Debt uses your donations to purchase bundled medical debt portfolios in bulk on the secondary debt market and then forgives that debt at pennies on the dollar. 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 the state of New Jersey. 

RIP Medical Debt has a Charity Navigator 100% score with perfect scores for impact & results, accountability & finance, culture & community, and leadership & adaptability.  So far, they have relieved over $8.5 billion dollars in medical debt and helped nearly 5.5 million families in the process. 

Together with RIP Medical Debt, we’ve started a campaign to raise $10,000, which will abolish more than $1 million of medical debt throughout the state of New Jersey.  The campaign targets people most in need, including those who have a household income less than four times the federal poverty level, or medical debts that are 5 percent or more of their annual income.

Debt relief recipients will receive a letter from RIP Medical Debt at the end of this campaign informing them that their debt has been bought by a third party and erased with no strings attached. Recipients owe nothing on the debt and face no tax penalty.

Your donations will make a lasting difference in the lives of people experiencing the challenge of medical debt. Please help us reach our goal of raising $10,000 to abolish $1 million in NJ medical debt in memory of Steve Sisco.
