Thousands of New Yorkers expected to get medical debt relief through city program

The move will relieve some or all of the medical debt for 500,000 New Yorkers on a one-time basis. It is part of a program Adams launched last year with Undue Medical Debt, a nonprofit that buys medical debt to acquire debt portfolios from healthcare providers, hospitals, and collection agencies. Since the program launched in 2024, it has thus far canceled $135 million in medical debt for 75,000 New Yorkers.

'The Toxic Avenger' reboot wants to wipe out your medical debt

The Toxic Avenger, the schlocktacular splatterfest from the 1980s, is slashing its way out of video store purgatory this week, with a reboot starring Peter Dinklage and Kevin Bacon-and an innovative marketing campaign. Hybrid studio-distributor Cineverse is hyping the film by working with the nonprofit Undue Medical Debt to wipe out at least $5 million in debt for families struggling to pay their medical bills. (The grand total may end up being much more as another $1 million in debt will be shredded for every million that Toxie takes in from theaters.)
