A New York City woman who died Sunday from cancer has raised enough money to erase millions of dollars in medical debt with a posthumous plea for help. The posts included a link to a fundraising campaign started through the nonprofit RIP Medical Debt. It had raised about $140,000 by Friday afternoon, or enough to buy around $14 million in medical debt. RIP Medical Debt erases debt purchased from hospitals, other health care providers and the secondary debt market. They were inspired by a video they saw of North Carolina churchgoers burning about $3 million in medical debt.
