Late NYC mother's final wish wipes out $44.9 million in medical debt

Casey Ryan McIntyre, a 38-year-old New York mother who died of stage four ovarian cancer, arranged in a posthumous post to buy and erase others' medical debt. The campaign's first round, via Undue Medical Debt, cancelled $44.9 million owed by about 51,000 people across nine US states, using about $300,000 of over $1 million raised.
