Fearless journalism needs your support now more than ever

Our mission could not be more clear and more necessary: We have a duty to explain what just happened, and why, and what it means for you. We need clear-eyed journalism that helps you understand what really matters. Reporting that brings clarity in increasingly chaotic times. Reporting that is driven by truth, not by what people in power want you to believe.

We rely on readers like you to fund our journalism. Will you support our work and become a Vox Member today?

Dylan Scott

Senior Correspondent and Editor

Dylan Scott covers global health for Vox’s Future Perfect, writing on longstanding and novel public health challenges faced by people around the world.

Since joining the Vox newsroom in 2017, he has reported on the debate over repealing the Affordable Care Act from Capitol Hill, documented the emerging Medicare-for-all movement, and helped lead coverage on the Covid-19 pandemic. He was the primary reporter on two series on international health care, exploring how other nations achieve universal health care and their response to the novel coronavirus.

Dylan has covered health care policy since 2011, when he was a staff writer at Governing magazine. He wrote for Talking Points Memo, National Journal, and STAT before coming to Vox. He is a native Ohioan, a proud graduate of Ohio University, and a diehard fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers. You can reach him at [email protected].
