Comment by Catherine Ettman
Assistant Professor in Health Policy and Management at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health; researcher on wealth-building policies and baby bonds
Wealth plays a foundational role in shaping health and well-being, yet it remains far less studied than income. [...] This study offers evidence of support for policymakers, agencies, and other stakeholders as they consider policies for investing in future generations through child savings and wealth-building initiatives.

Verified via web search. Catherine Ettman (Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Assistant Professor) made this statement in a 2026 Johns Hopkins announcement about her JAMA Network Open study on national support for wealth-building for children. Source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the search and JAMA Network Open confirm the verbatim quote and the underlying research. The "for" vote on "Introduce a universal basic wealth system that grants individuals a capital endowment at birth" aligns with Ettman's research advocating for child savings and wealth-building initiatives via baby bonds (capital endowments at birth). Note: her research specifically focuses on baby bonds for low-income children rather than strictly universal endowments, but the vote direction is consistent with her support for birth-capital programs. Year 2026 is current.
