CRFB Fix the Debt Coalition

Effective Democracy
Strengthening Our Democracy
Reforming the Electoral Count Act
In 2022, Peterson Solutions Fund made grants to two nonpartisan organizations, Issue One Action and United to Protect Democracy to bring attention in Congress to the urgency and importance of passing bipartisan reforms to the 1887 Electoral Count Act, the law that governs how Congress certifies presidential elections. The grants supported advocacy efforts to build and maintain support among policymakers for legislative action on bipartisan, targeted reforms to clarify and modernize the arcane and vague law, in order to better ensure an orderly transfer of power.

Healthcare
Transforming Healthcare into a High Performance System
Increasing Health System Data Transparency
In 2022, Peterson Solutions Fund partnered with Manatt Health to explore and assess a variety of state and federal policymaking approaches designed to enhance price and cost transparency within the U.S. health system. The work examined ways to increase access and use of healthcare data to drive improvements in healthcare market purchasing and policymaking.
Enacting Legislation to Lower Costs and Increase Transparency among Health Plan Sponsors
Peterson Solutions Fund helped support the ERISA Industry Committee’s efforts to enact the Lower Cost, More Transparency Act (LCMT Act). This bipartisan legislation would empower employers with actionable data, helping to support improved care and lower spending in the healthcare system.
