Medical debt on the ballot in Arizona
Arizona voters could approve a measure designed to stop creditors from gouging people with medical bills, and other states are taking notice. If the Arizona measure passes, the union-backed initiative is likely to be replicated in other red and purple states where progressives have successfully pushed ballot measures to accomplish what conservative legislators will not, like expanding Medicaid, raising the minimum wage and establishing paid sick leave. Megan Messerly talks with Lauren Gardner about the new measure. Plus, David Agus, the Ellison Institute’s CEO, on developing digital Covid certificates, green passes and Covid passports.
