In a Christmas gift to its community, a Los Angeles church is paying off $5.3 million in medical bills for more than 5,000 households
Christian Assembly Church worked with RIP Medical Debt to map out the active households that call the church home. In those 28 neighborhoods, there was $5.3 million worth of outstanding medical debt. RIP Medical Debt is a non-profit organization that buys medical debt at a steep discount and then sells it to entities like the church. So, the church decided to purchase the $5.3 million debt as a Christmas gift.
"But not only that, we will work with the credit agencies to repair their credit score for the impact of these unpaid medical bills," he said.Read MoreHughes said that this"crushing" debt was a burden to families that earn less than twice the federal poverty line in the 28 neighborhoods. The debt affects 5,555 households in the Los Angeles area. The church is in Eagle Rock, a neighborhood northeast of downtown Los Angeles.
