SUMMARY:Can’t Pay\, Won’t Pay: Collective Price-Setting
DESCRIPTION:with Stephen Piccarella\n\n\nAmericans pay on average twice as 
 much for healthcare as peer countries with 41% of us in medical debt. In a
  system that commodifies healthcare along with every other aspect of our s
 urvival\, this crisis is not just lingering — it’s worsening.\n\nWhy a
 re we being charged exorbitant prices so many of us cannot afford for some
 thing we need to survive\, who sets those prices\, and how have people in 
 the past used their collective inability to pay as an asset against high p
 rices for basic necessities?\n\nOn October 30 at 8pm ET/5pm PT we’ll be 
 holding the first of three sessions on autoreduction or the tactic of coll
 ectively setting prices as a means of fighting back against a hostile capi
 talist system. Join us and Stephen Piccarella to talk about autoreduction 
 — from the autonomia movement of 1970s Italy to Debt Collective today 
 — and our fight to win reparative public goods.
