This post by ‘intelhub’  “OWS Affiliated Group Purchases $1 Million Worth of Emergency Room Debt and Erases It” tells of what seems to be a brilliant form of reestablishing community facilities that are stalled because of debt.

This idea has brought about many success stories.  The group recently announced through their website that they erased over $1 Million in debt from emergency rooms in Kentucky and Indiana.
