En gros, John Oliver s’est payé 15 millions pour 60 000$ de dette médicale de 9000 foyers américains pris à la gorge et a juste décidé d’annuler cette #dette, explosant par la même occasion à quel point a santé et la rapacité étrangle le pays…
Then, instead of chasing down the 9,000 debtors in the debt package as a normal collection agency would, Oliver decided to stage the largest one-time giveaway in television history and work with the nonprofit RIP Medical Debt to forgive the $15 million with no consequences for the debtors.
Oliver’s actions last night continue his penchant for big-moment activism.
When he was taking on the topic of tax-exempt organizations and televangelists, Oliver and his team started a tax-exempt church called “Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption”.
