Journal Article
Threats to Democracy and the Right to Health
2025
Overview
Jim Crow laws in the US South effectively barred African Americans from the polls until the passage of the Civil Rights Act (1964) and the Voting Rights Act (1965) a century after the emancipation of their enslaved forebears and following the passage of constitutional amendments that ended enslavement (Thirteenth Amendment), guaranteed the right to citizenship (Fourteenth Amendment), and guaranteed the right to vote (Fifteenth Amendment). THE REPUBLICAN TRIFECTA In 2025, the Republican Party will achieve a federal trifecta, with a Republican president and control of the US House and Senate, along with the most conservative Supreme Court in decades. The Supreme Court, with three justices appointed by Trump, has undone affirmative action, reversed federal protection of abortion rights, and ended the Chevron doctrine-increasing court oversight of the operational interpretation of legal statutes, previously a task often entrusted to government agency experts. With the slogan \"Make America Healthy Again,\" Kennedy will have to overcome the multiple studies that show that Republican, conservative political leadership is associated with poorer population health outcomes.\"· Krieger expanded analysis of political determinants by looking at the association between four state-level political metrics (i.e., political ideology based on voting records of US House and Senate members, US state political party control, state policies enacted, and voter political lean) and health outcomes, including infant mortality rates, premature mortality rates, and having health insurance (for adults aged 35-64 years).
