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.
-
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.
