Background: Lack of accountability within healthcare systems contributes to suboptimal healthcare quality and ultimately poor health outcomes, especially in low-income countries. In Uganda, our research team implemented a pilot project of quarterly health accountability meetings between community members and their local political leaders to discuss healthcare needs and strategies for quality improvement. In this study, we examine the community members' understanding and perceptions of the health accountability meetings, as well as the perceived impact of the meetings on local healthcare services and community life.

Article Synopsis
- The United States has worse health statistics compared to other wealthy countries, partly because some states didn't accept federal health programs.
- Analyzing each state, it was found that Republican-leaning states had higher COVID deaths and lower life expectancy, especially if they had the same vaccination rates as Democratic states.
- Overall, the Republican vote percentage related to poorer health outcomes, and while the Affordable Care Act helped some access to care, it created areas with limited maternity care in rural Republican states.
