$1 million in medical debt forgiven in Washington by KIRO 7, Jesse Jones | KIRO-TV

After hearing Washington state medical debt stories for an investigative report, we decided to do something about it. Our goal: buy as much medical debt as we could.

It’s sad that this is the state of medicine here, but it’s absolutely awesome to see people coming together like this.

    I have outstanding medical debt. In fact, over 90% of all my bad credit is medical debt from a severe skin disorder I was born with. I just wonder How do they pick the lucky ones that are chosen to have their dept cleared?

      I’m assuming you need to apply, and part of that application process would hopefully include the criteria. Good luck!
