A group of Philadelphians erased $1.6 million in local medical debt. They celebrated with an unofficial debt burning.

Two regular residents got their friends to raise more than $17,000 to buy medical debt worth $1.6 million. Instead of cashing in on the debt, they forgave it, helping more than 1,700 Philadelphians.Ximena Conde (The Philadelphia Inquirer)
