Polls show that health care is among the most important issues for voters in the 2020 election. Spending on medical care has skyrocketed in the past 20 years and is weighing on both workers and employers. What is the answer? Can sweeping legislative proposals like universal Medicare, or some other single-payer health plan, address rising costs? Would this fundamental restructuring of the health care system be prohibitively expensive?

Did you know? You can write a request for information — whether it’s budgets, police reports, policies, emails, or bail schedules — and, in many cases, the governmental agency is required by law to hand it over!

Public records laws are an invaluable tool for activists. Don’t let them go unused. They apply to both state and local agencies, including jails, city councils, school boards, and the prison system.
