Good grief, can you imagine trying to sleep at night with a portfolio of unsecured medical debt? "Pay me for your cancer treatment!"

If you want to feel good, buy it for pennies and then forgive it. 100$ to you can be several thousand to someone owing the debt.

Yes. Or just negotiate it with the current holder, knowing what it goes for on the market.
