The Authors
Jerry Ashton -- Jerry is a four-decade veteran of the collections industry who rethought his career and profession after working in the Occupy Wall Street movement. He turned from debt collector to debt forgiver, which led him in 2014 to co-found RIP Medical Debt. In 2020 Jerry retired to RIP’s board and founded LetsRethinkThis.org.
Robert E. Goff -- With more than 45 years of experience in the healthcare industry, Robert is a respected expert in care delivery, organization and financing. He recently retired as the Executive Director and CEO of University Physicians Network. A founding director of RIP Medical Debt, he still serves on its Board.
Craig Antico -- Before co-founding RIP Medical Debt, Craig ran companies that bought and collected debt for a profit. Today, he’s a sought-after expert in debt forgiveness and identifying people with debt causing hardship. Town and Country magazine named him among its top forty Philanthropist of the Year. He serves Emeritus on the RIP board.Reviews:
