Claim: “Texas ranks 3rd highest among states for the number of people who have recovered from” the coronavirus. (Greg Abbott, 2020-05-03)
Evidence (2023-12-18): Throughout the coronavirus the pandemic, the coverage expansions put in place by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), including Medicaid expansion and subsidized Marketplace coverage, served as a safety net for people who lost jobs or faced other economic and coverage disruptions. Building on that foundation, pandemic-era policies, including continuous enrollment for Medicaid enrollees and enhanced Marketplace subsidies, further protected people with low income against coverage losses and improved the affordability of private coverage. As a result, in 2022, the number of nonelderly uninsured individuals continued a downward trend, dropping by nearly 1.9 million from 27.5 million in 2021 to 25.6 million in 2022, and the uninsured rate decreased from 10.2% in 2021 to a record low 9.6% in 2022. [...] During the third year following the start of the pandemic, the number of people without health insurance continued to drop, reaching an all-time low in 2022. With pandemic-related coverage protections still in place and a strong job market, the coverage gains were driven by increases in employer, Medicaid, and non-group coverage for nonelderly adults. While the improvements in coverage were widespread, they were particularly large for American Indian and Alaska Native and Hispanic people (although these groups remain more likely than White people to be uninsured), those in low-income families, particularly people in poverty, and among people in working families, including those with only part-time workers in the family.

Evidence (2024-03-21): States are categorized from highest rate to lowest rate. Although adjusted for differences in age-distribution and population size, rankings by state do not take into account other state specific population characteristics that may affect the level of mortality. When the number of deaths is small, rankings by state may be unreliable due to instability in death rates.

Evidence (2023-06-22): The report generally reflects data from 2021. [...] The following principles guided the development of the State Scorecard: [...] As in previous scorecards, if historical data were not available for a particular indicator in the baseline period, the current-year data point was used as a substitute, thus ensuring that ranks in each time period were based on the same number of indicators.

Evidence (2020-05-08): There, public health officials count as recovered any COVID-19 patient who is still alive 30 days after testing positive for the virus. On Sunday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted that more people in his state had recovered from COVID-19 than had been newly diagnosed with it over the last two days. [...] In Abbott's state, the Department of State Health Services reports daily on the number of cumulative COVID-19 cases in the state, and estimated numbers of active cases and of patients who have recovered from the virus.

Evidence (2024-08-05): Written and prepared by Daniel Soucy, Makenna Janes, and Andrew Hall. [...] 3) Some smaller states have large numbers relative to their populations. [...] In part, this is because older adults often have fixed or limited incomes that have not kept pace with the rising cost of living. They have fewer opportunities to increase their incomes from work and need long-term support.

Evidence (2024-10-04): Texas ranks second in the nation, after California, in both population and the size of its economy.12,13 Texas is the largest energy-consuming state, accounting for about one-seventh of the nation's total energy use, and it is sixth among the states in per capita energy consumption.14,15 However, because Texas produces much more energy than it consumes, it is the nation's largest net energy supplier.16 The Texas industrial sector, which includes the energy-intensive chemical manufacturing, crude oil and natural gas extraction, and petroleum refining industries, is the state's largest energy consumer.17,18,19 It accounts for more than half of the state's total energy consumption and 24% of the nation's total industrial sector energy use. The transportation sector is the second-largest end-use energy user in Texas and accounts for about one-fourth of the state's energy consumption.20 [...] 58 U.S. Census Bureau, Texas, Table B25040, House Heating Fuel, 2022 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates.

Evidence (2022-10-24): Nation’s Report Card Shows Texas is Recovering from the Pandemic in Reading, Much Work Remains in Math 2022 results for the US show broad learning declines, with Texas doing better than most. [...] Texas’s NAEP results show that students in the Lone Star State have shown more progress than most in their academic recovery. Texas’s rank improved in both fourth and eighth grade reading, and in eighth grade math. In fourth grade math, Texas students performed better (239) than the national average (235) and exceptionally well when compared to their peers, with African American, Hispanic, White, and Economically Disadvantaged students ranking 1st, 4th, 2nd, and 6th in the U.S. African American students also rank 1st in math in eighth grade. Improvements in Texas’s rank in reading for its students was also notable. In particular, the performance of students with disabilities jumped from 34th to 17th in fourth grade reading and from 48th to 14th in eighth grade reading. [...] "Results from the 2022 Nation’s Report Card highlight the hard work of Texas teachers and students. While we are largely recovering from the effects of the pandemic in reading, much work remains in math," said Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath. "Thanks to policies enacted by Governor Abbott and legislature, Texas is recovering from the educational impacts of the pandemic faster than most states, and we will continue to remain focused on meeting the needs of every Texas student."
Claim: “Pete Buttigieg is a favorite candidate of Wall Street and the health care industry.” (Bernie Sanders, 2020-02-07)
Evidence (2020-02-07): If the health care sector is broadly defined, Bernie Sanders leads the Democratic presidential primary field in terms of donations. Buttigieg leads in terms of campaign contributions from pharmaceutical companies as well as health services and HMOs, a classification that includes large insurance companies. When contributions to leadership political action committees are considered, Biden has the highest donation total from the pharmaceutical and health products sector.
Claim: “Pete Buttigieg is a favorite candidate of Wall Street and the health care industry.” (Bernie Sanders, 2020-02-07)
Evidence (2019-12-10): That’s in part because Wall Street loves a winner, and Buttigieg — who is kicking off a two-day swing through New York City that includes three fundraisers — has been climbing in the polls and leads the pack both in Iowa and New Hampshire. [...] And hedge fund billionaire Paul Tudor Jones, who has predicted the stock market will tank if Warren wins, has called Buttigieg "my man." A review by Forbes found Buttigieg has drawn contributions from 39 billionaires, the third-highest total of active candidates. Buttigieg’s fundraising from Wall Street’s top bank officials is hardly lagging. He’s drawn more than 300 contributions from employees of the top five firms. By contrast, former vice president Joe Biden, another industry favorite, has pulled in roughly 100 donations from employees of the same banks, according to federal campaign records.

Evidence (2019-04-09): Pete Buttigieg, a little-known mayor of a modest-sized Midwest city, has become an unlikely rising star in the 2020 Democratic presidential field. How? [...] Buttigieg has become the hot candidate of the moment. On Sunday, in South Bend, he will formally announce the launch of his presidential campaign, probably before an enthusiastic and adoring crowd. [...] Buttigieg has developed a reputation as an intellectual - he reportedly speaks seven languages and lists Ulysses by James Joyce as a favourite book - and a policy nerd. As a presidential candidate, his proposals are a mix of ambitious governmental reform and incremental legislative advances.

Evidence (2024-07-25): The odds on Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg being the Democratic Party's 2024 vice presidential candidate have improved with one leading bookmaker over the past 24 hours, following media reports that the campaign team of Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, is considering him for the role. On Wednesday, William Hill offered odds of 14/1 (6.7 percent) on Buttigieg running as the Democrats' vice presidential pick, but this improved to 4/1 (20 percent) as of 5 a.m. ET on Thursday. [...] Buttigieg endorsed Harris for the presidency almost immediately after Biden announced he was stepping aside. In a post on X, he said: "Kamala Harris is now the right person to take up the torch, defeat Donald Trump, and succeed Joe Biden as President.
Claim: “Pete Buttigieg is a favorite candidate of Wall Street and the health care industry.” (Bernie Sanders, 2020-02-07)
Evidence (2019-09-19): Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg unveiled his health care plan on Thursday, outlining a middle-of-the-road approach that allows people to opt into a government-backed health insurance option but lets them keep their private insurance plans if they like them. [...] Buttigieg said in a statement around his plan’s release that American health care is "at this moment of crisis because of a failure of leadership." "For years, Washington politicians have allowed the pharmaceutical industry, giant insurance companies, and powerful hospital systems to profit off of people when they are at their sickest and most vulnerable," he said. "My ‘Medicare for All Who Want It’ plan will create a health care system that puts power in the hands of each American."
Claim: “Pete Buttigieg is a favorite candidate of Wall Street and the health care industry.” (Bernie Sanders, 2020-02-07)
Evidence (2019-11-19): Over the next few months, Buttigieg's star rose, his campaign coffers fattened, and his place in the polls improved. In a Democratic field dominated by familiar—not to mention old—Washington faces, he was a breath of fresh air from flyover country. At the same time, his presentation was as slick as that of any veteran politician, reassuring supporters—including a growing group of Wall Street and Silicon Valley donors—that he wasn't out of his depth. Little things, like video of Buttigieg speaking Norwegian to a reporter from Norway (he'd learned the language in order to read the untranslated works of a Norwegian author he admired) only burnished his legend. [...] As for his own health care plan, Buttigieg calls it Medicare for All Who Want It, which allows for employer-sponsored and individual private health insurance. But even as he moves into the centrist lane, Buttigieg likely knows that he can't be seen as being too moderate. When I told him, for instance, that I thought he was trying to get to the right of Sanders and Warren with the plan, he rejected the idea. "This would be the most ambitious thing done to American health care in the postwar era," he insisted. It's that type of big—or at least big-ish—thinking, combined with his youth, he argues, that makes him more electable than Biden.

Evidence (2024-07-21): Kamala Harris' VP pick? Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg among possible candidates 4-minute read [...] If the party wants to double down on Harris with a younger and more moderate Democrat, Cassino mentioned a few relatively well-known personalities. Julián Castro, the secretary of housing and urban development under former President Barack Obama fits the bill. Also in that category is Cory Booker, the U.S. senator from New Jersey. Another would be Pete Buttigieg, the current U.S. transportation secretary and former naval officer who rose to prominence during his campaign for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 presidential election. [...] In a ranked choice poll for a Harris running mate, Buttigieg narrowly beat Whitmer 52% to 48%.

Evidence (2020-02-20): The campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), for instance, distributed talking points that zeroed in on fundraising, saying that "Pete Buttigieg is a favorite candidate of Wall Street and the health care industry." [...] Sanders’ comments led us to wonder if Buttigieg really is the sweetheart of the health care industry. We asked the Sanders campaign for its evidence. Staffers pointed us to data from the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit group that operates the website OpenSecrets.org and tracks money from individuals and political action committees donated to political candidates and members of Congress. The center analyzes Federal Election Commission data and sorts contributions by categories based on the economic sector from which they come. [...] We asked Weber if Sanders’ talking point about Buttigieg is true. That "depends on what you mean by ‘health care industry,’" Weber wrote in an email. OpenSecrets defines its health sector by contributions from PACs and individuals working in various health industries, he said, and "for our data, that’s our broadest definition of health care."

Evidence (2024-07-27): Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has emerged as a top choice to be Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate in the 2024 presidential election, some recent polls show. [...] Many names have been floated, such as Buttigieg and governors Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Andy Beshear of Kentucky. However, several recent polls have shown Buttigieg as a top choice among Democratic voters. [...] William Hill this week offered 14/1 (6.7 percent) on Buttigieg running as the Democrats' vice presidential pick, but the odds improved to 4/1 (20 percent) as of 5 a.m. ET on Thursday. Kelly remained the firm favorite at 11/8 (42.1 percent), less than the 10/11 (52.4 percent) on Wednesday.

Evidence (2024-07-29): U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg received some more positive data on Sunday, as new polling showed him with a higher favorability rating than other Democrats currently being floated as potential running mates for Vice President Kamala Harris. [...] Polling suggests that Buttigieg may be the favorite among voters. New polling released by ABC News/Ipsos on Sunday showed Buttigieg with a higher favorability rating than other Democrats reported to be on Harris' shortlist.

Claim: “Pete Buttigieg is a favorite candidate of Wall Street and the health care industry.” (Bernie Sanders, 2020-02-07)
Evidence (2019-11-06): Buttigieg is trailed closely in his Wall Street haul by Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, who has raised $927,000 from the industry; Biden ($889,000); and Sen. Kamala Harris of Calif. ($765,000), according to figures from the center. [...] One Democratic lobbyist for financial services interests said he cut a check to Buttigieg as a sort of insurance policy against Warren in case Biden stumbles. "I don’t want Warren to just be in a position of chasing. I want her to be chased as well," he said. "I want to put pressure on her with a credible alternative … I don’t think Wall Street has a real great sense of what Mayor Pete might mean or not mean. But we do know what Warren means, and so I want part of every story about her to also be about him moving in tandem up the line." For those inclined to criticize Buttigieg’s support from Wall Street, campaign spokesman Chris Meagher noted "similar criticisms were leveled against Barack Obama, and he went on to establish the most aggressive regulation of the financial sector that we’d seen in decades. Pete will do what is right for our country, and is running to move our country forward by leading with bold ideas that the American people can unify around."

Evidence (2019-12-18): How Harvard Made Pete Buttigieg the Moderate That Progressives Love to Hate [...] He started in these elite environs as an untested academic. He ended as much an orator and operator, less theoretician, more fledgling politician. He railed against the timidity of the Democratic Party coming out of 2000, then embraced its safest, most centrist candidate in 2004. He spoke out against the Iraq invasion but would join a military becoming mired in two wars. The Buttigieg increasingly evident on the campaign trail today, politically liberal, tonally and temperamentally moderate, by predisposition an idealist and institutionalist but ultimately a pragmatist, came into sharp relief for the first time through what he did at Harvard.
