Abolish Medical Debt
Every dollar you donate relieves $100 of medical debt

Medical Debt is a serious and widespread problem in which a person cannot pay for their medical needs. 1 in every 3 Americans struggle with medical bills and cannot pay them, and every day, 79,000,000 Americans must choose whether to pay off their medical debt or to purchase food or pay rent or mortgage. In addition, 66% of all US bankruptcies and 25% of US credit card debt is due to medical debt alone. Consequences of medical debt include garnished wages and low credit scores, which make it hard for people to get a loan, a lease to an apartment, or even a job.
For every $1 you donate to abolish medical debt, $100 can be used to relieve a person’s medical debt. Donate today and help relieve your community and your country from medical debt.

How RIP Works
Over a hundred million Americans, one in three, struggles with the weight of medical debt.
Here’s how we lift them up.
You make a donation
With every donation, RIP uses its precise data analytics to pinpoint the medical debt of those most in need of relief: households whose incomes are less than four times the federal poverty level guideline or with medical debt representing at least 5% of gross income.
RIP buys medical debt at a steep discount
Your donations allow us to buy debt in bundled portfolios, millions of dollars at a time at a fraction of the original cost. On average, whatever you donate has 100x the impact.
Together we wipe out medical debt
People across the country receive a letter that their debt is gone. No taxes. No penalties. Just like that, they’re free of medical debt.
