Why is KPFK helping forgive Medical Debt? Because, as host Cary Harrison says, “It Is an existential threat to the well-being of Angelinos, our listeners, and society at large”.

Cary has created an unheard-of Bang-for-the-Buck return for the KPFK listener - YOU! 

We’ve been partnered with RIP Medical Debt which has gotten us access to $1 million dollars in medical debt.  This is debt which we can completely forgive when we raise as little as $10,000.  Yes, when KPFK raises only ten thousand dollars, our partner will match our listeners’ donations by 100 times (yes, 100 times!) so we can abolish $1 million worth of medical debt across LA, touching so many families and removing their negative credit mark so they can get back to work and to a normal life!  

We’ve secured this debt because our partner, RIP, bought L.A. debt in bundles – so, $1 donated abolishes $100 of medical debt.

Since inception, our partner, RIP, has raised enough money to abolish over $5 billion of medical debt for over 2.8 million families (including $50 million in Veteran debt in 2018 alone). 

Cary Harrison’s at-a-glance Debt Facts:

• ·  Debtors are the "collateral damage" of a flawed healthcare, pharma and Insurance system 
• ·  43 million Americans now owe about $75 billion in past-due medical debt 
• ·  More than 1 in 3 Americans struggle to afford the cost of their medical care 
• ·  Medical debt contributes to more than 60 percent of all bankruptcies in the USA 
• ·  75 percent of all individuals in medical bankruptcy had health insurance coverage 
• ·  Medical debt lingers on a person’s credit report and negatively impacts their ability to purchase or rent a home, buy a vehicle, secure a loan, or even gain employment 

How will KPFK help our community? 

We’re serving our donors by abolishing the city’s crippling scourge of medical debt and fixing the credit marks against those with medical debt so our fellow Angelenos can get back on their feet and even back to work. 

Who Qualifies for Our Debt Forgiveness? 

• ·  People earning less than 2 times the federal poverty level (varies by state and family size). 
• ·  Those in financial hardship (out-of-pocket expenses 5% or more of their annual income). 
• ·  People facing insolvency (debts are greater than assets).
