The amount is larger than the GDPs of such countries as Brazil, the U.K., Mexico, Spain, and Canada. And yet, we rank 27th in the world in health. In a study of 11 countries, the U.S. ranked LAST for health outcomes, equity and quality, despite having the highest per capita health earnings. The U.S. also had the highest rate of mortality amenable to healthcare, meaning more Americans die from poor care quality than any other country involved in the study.<\/p>\n<p>And, it gets worse.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does our health care outcome fall far short of health industry income, but the fundamental inequity \u2013 and iniquity \u2013 of the current system has created another life-threatening metastasis in our body politic: $1 trillion in unpayable medical debt in America. Medical debt causes hardships for individuals, families, communities, and the nation as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Our guest this week, Jerry Ashton, along with his End Medical Debt co-authors Robert Goff and Craig Antico created a charity, RIP Medical Debt, the charity made famous by John Oliver on HBO for abolishing $15 million in medical debt. Since 2014, RIP has purchased and forgiven more than $750 million on medical debt. The charity recently reached the milestone of abolishing $1 billion in medical debt.<\/p>\n<p>Jerry Ashton has more than 40 years of experience in the credit and collections industry. In 1995, to uplift the way debtors are treated, he formed CFO Advisors in New York. His teams serviced a half billion in receivables for Fortune 500 companies. Inspired by Occupy Wall Street\u2019s debt forgiveness campaign, he joined with Craig Antico to found RIP\u2008Medical Debt. Jerry serves as RIP\u2019s Director of Education and Outreach.<\/p>\n<p>In our conversation today, we will look at the inner workings of our \u201ctoo big to fail, too broken to succeed\u201d health care system. Since the three authors of the book have three divergent political perspectives, we will have a chance to discuss what happens when diverse viewpoints converge and converse on one issue. The authors disagree on the solutions, but they all agree on their one simple act of charity \u2014 buying and forgiving medical debt.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in how we arrived at our current \u201cfaith-based\u201d health care system (\u201cpray you don\u2019t get sick\u201d) and ways we can create a system that works for each and all, please tune in this Tuesday, December 17rd at 2 pm PT \/ 5 pm ET. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/omtimes.com\/iom\/shows\/wiki-politiki-radio-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/omtimes.com\/iom\/shows\/wiki-politiki-radio-show\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To find out more about End Medical Debt, please go here. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hokuhouse.com\/endmedicaldebt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/hokuhouse.com\/endmedicaldebt\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And now that we ARE back with new shows (and planning a Zoom video element after the first of the year), we invite you to help support Wiki Politiki and our mission to bring about \u201cthe great upwising\u201d and functional politics!
