Health care policies are on the ballot this election season, and the outcomes of voters’ decisions will likely shape people’s #healthcare experiences for years to come. Among the issues being debated is medical debt. Did you know that 15 million people have medical debt in collections on their credit reports? An Urban-designed #data tool provides insights into this reality by illustrating the variation of medical debt in collections at the county, state, and national level. Our tool also shows changes in medical debt for residents in communities of color and white communities and examines potential factors associated with debt, such as #healthinsurance coverage and hospital market concentration. Explore the tool today, and tell us, do you think addressing medical debt should be a priority for elected leaders—or does another health care issue matter more to you as Election Day nears? https://urbn.is/3AfLRdd Leave a comment.

We know from #research that when people have access to affordable, stable, quality housing, their well-being improves. But that’s not the case for everyone, and solving the nation’s housing crisis remains a key campaign issue as November nears. How do Kamala Harris and Donald Trump intend to address the crisis if elected?

What do you think needs to be done to solve the country’s #housing crisis, a central issue in the upcoming elections up and down the ballot?
