Today, when you buy health insurance, you’re making a bet that doesn’t pay off. And it’s not just a bet with money, it’s a bet with your life. In response to this broken system, Strike Debt’s Rolling Jubilee initiative has taken action. We will soon announce a huge debt buy; this time we’ve purchased and abolished a large amount of medical debt. Join us, Healthcare for the 99% and other allies for an important day of action.
