Reviews "End Medical Debt is one of the best books I've read that explains how our healthcare system became a voracious monster, and the steps we can take, individually and collectively, to keep it from devouring us." Wendell Potter, Center for Health and Democracy "The Covid recovery edition of End Medical Debt breaks down critical issues in a way that's easy to understand.

Autorenporträt
Jerry Ashton is a four-decade veteran of the collections industry who rethought his career and profession after being inspired by his work in the Occupy Wall Street movement. He turned from debt collector to debt forgiver, which led him in 2014 to co-founding RIP Medical Debt. Achieving in 2020 his goal of RIP¿abolishing $1billion in medical debt, Jerry retired to RIP's board and founded LetsRethinkThis.com to address and solve other societal problems.
