About this episode
Today we're talking about medical debt in America. First, a former high school government and law teacher rallied her half-a-million Instagram followers to raise enough money to wipe away more than $50 million in medical debt. Sharon McMahon (known as @SharonSaysSo on Instagram) joins us to share why she became passionate about this cause and what it meant to see so many people come together online for good . Then, we talk with the Executive Director of the nonprofit, RIP Medical Debt, Allison Sesso, about how big the problem of medical really is and what's the impact on families.
