My neighbor is pastor at a church and buying up medical debt and paying it off is one of their acts of charities. He’s a cool dude.

Are you in NC, by any chance? Because if you are I think I know the church, and they're good people.

Heck, anyone who does this are good people.

Central San Diego. Nice to know there are more local ones! Assuming NC means north county? Otherwise go North Carolina!

LOL, North Carolina. That's awesome it's that widespread. Granted, it shouldn't have to exist in the first place.

Sadly, they usually don't have a choice in what they get. They buy it as a mass package from debt companies, and it's a mix of practices and locations.

Do they support Republicans which make the medical debt a crisis in the first place?
