Casey McIntyre, who died last Sunday, had prepared a posthumous message. In news op X He also called for donations of money to pay off the health care debts of others. “I loved you all and knew how much I was loved. To celebrate my life, we arranged to pay off other people’s health care debt.”
As of Saturday 170,000 dollars (155,000 euros) had already been raised. The organization receiving the money, the nonprofit RIP Medical Loan, has pledged to pay off $100 in healthcare debt for every dollar it receives. As a result, the amount has already risen to more than 17 million dollars.
The organization says it buys loans called maintenance bundles. This means the company gets a discount: it costs less money to pay off more debt, he writes AP.
McIntyre writes that he always received good care. But she was shocked by certain amounts on the forms. “It made me realize that good care can be provided, but not many people can afford it,” she writes in her message. “But what if we stopped dreaming of finding a cure for cancer and instead helped people with slowly crushing health care costs?”
