Speaking Truth
To Power
Meet Alberta Slavin, founder of the consumer movement in Missouri in the 1970s. Alberta was appointed by Gov. Teasdale as the first consumer advocate to head the Missouri Public Service Commission, and later became the “On Your Side” consumer reporter for CBS, Channel 4.
I believe ordinary citizens, banding together, can make a difference.

Medical debt shouldn’t prevent anyone from seeking care.
Care Over Collections is a new initiative of the Consumers Council of Missouri, dedicated to combating the
financial harm caused by medical debt throughout Missouri.
We’re working to uncover harmful debt practices, connect Missourians with resources, and push for policies that
protect families, not collection agencies.
Our work focuses on:
• Research & Data Transparency: Tracking medical debt lawsuits to reveal their true impact.
• Community Support: Helping people understand their rights and access financial assistance.
• Storytelling: Centering real experiences to drive change.
• Advocacy: Advancing fair, people-first healthcare policies.
Together, we’re building a Missouri where care comes first... not collections.

Consumers Council of Missouri spoke out at the recent Ameren Missouri rate case hearing, where rising concerns about how data centers could raise electricity costs for everyday residents took center stage. As our Legal Counsel John Coffman stated, “If we don’t act now, these unchecked costs will fall hardest on working families and renters.”
Missourians deserve affordable and transparent electricity rates that protect households across the state.
