About the book

“Thomas Paine rallied Americans to a new sense of themselves and their possibilities. Judah Freed does likewise for citizens of the planet.”
Bill McKibben, author, The End of Nature, Deep Economy, Falter; founder, 350.org; organizer, Global Climate March.

“Judah Freed has taken the gauntlet from Thomas Paine and other great innovators of democracy to guide us toward the evolution of democracy itself. Making Global Sense is a vital and wonderful book, well written and inspired by the very same passion that founded this country [USA], and can carry the world into the next era of evolution.”
Barbara Marx Hubbard, author, Conscious Evolution (she saw a draft)

End Medical Debt wins 2022 Benjamin Franklin Book Award

End Medical Debt, a book by the founders of RIP Medical Debt and published by Hoku House,  on April 29 received a 2022 Benjamin Franklin Award for Health books. Sponsored by the Independent Book Publishers Association, the annual award, recognizing excellence in writing and design is regarded as one of the highest national honors for independent publishers.

End Medical Debt was written by Jerry Ashton, Robert Goff and Craig Antico, who in 2014 founded the national charity RIP Medical Debt,. Based in New York. RIP uses donations to buy and erase unpayable medical bills, with no negative tax effects for the recipients of debt relief. To date, RIP has abolished about $7 billion in medical debt causing hardship for four million disadvantaged Americans.

The authors, former debt collectors and a hospital administrator, offer the historic and current “big picture” for the root causes of our broken U.S. healthcare system. They apply divergent progressive, moderate and conservative views to examine the major proposed solutions, from healthier foods to Medicaid expansion to universal healthcare. They present the facts and let readers decide for themselves what we should do as a nation to end the crisis of medical debt in America.

The USA currently has $140 billion in unpaid healthcare bills, reports the New York Times. RIP estimates at least $1 trillion in medical debts have accumulated over the past ten years. These debts generally arise from being uninsured, underinsured, or getting treatment outside the care network, such as surprise bills from the balance due after insurance for an emergency room visit. In most cases, the unaffordable medical expense was unplanned and urgent.

End Medical Debt shows how unpaid healthcare bills, beyond producing stress that harms health an  rippling economically across the community and nation. The book provides practical strategies for individuals and families to avoid medical debt or resolve the debts they do have.

End Medical Debt was edited and published by seasoned journalist and award-winning author Judah Freed, who created the indie press, Hoku House, based in Denver.. The book briefly became a #1 bestseller on Amazon and BN.com after the authors were featured on the PBS NewsHour.

The authors and Hoku House donate 85 percent of all book royalties to RIP Medical Debt. The charity acquires bad debt for near a penny on the dollar, so each copy sold cancels about $500 in hardship medical bills. To date, End Medical Debt has earned enough to abolish about $6 million in medical debt.  

The 34th annual Benjamin Franklin Awards, presented at the Renaissance Hotel in Orlando, FL, recognized books in more than fifty categories. The awards program is administered by the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA). Books are judged by more than 150 volunteer industry professionals including librarians, bookstore owners, reviewers, designers, publicity managers, and editors. Due to Covid, the 2022 awards ceremony was the first live presentation since 2019.
