In Toledo, Ohio, 41,000 residents will see around $240 million in medical debt relieved.
Communities across the country have allocated at least $16 million toward relieving medical debt, according to the White House .
Cook County officials connected Grim with RIP Medical Debt, a nonprofit that buys up medical debt across the country and wipes it out completely.
"If you have your medical debt relieved, they can go back to the doctor again, they can put food on the table."
