"Simply put, voting is good for your health, which is why more and more doctors and health care organizations are encouraging their patients to do it." ♦️ Voters rate their health as better than non-voters, even after accounting for socioeconomic and demographic variables.  ♦️ Communities with higher voter turnout have more desirable public health outcomes.  ♦️ Voting has been linked to improved mental health, increased social connections, and greater community investment in public health resources.  On The CHCF Blog — why CHCF President & CEO Sandra R. Hernández, M.D. recommends voting: https://lnkd.in/ghQWBGiX
