In two years, the UCC has paid off $100 million in Americans’ medical debt

The United Church of Christ has now paid off more than $100 million in medical debt for people across the United States.

The UCC announced on February 14 that it used $200,000 from one of its annual Giving Tuesday campaigns to purchase and pay off $33 million in medical debt for residents of Ohio, where the mainline Protestant denomination is based.

That brought the total medical debt the UCC has purchased and paid off since late 2019 to more than $104 million.
