Which example describes migration caused by overcrowding?

"Migration due to overcrowding" is somewhat misleading, as lack of room has never been a critical issue on a large scale. much more prevalent has been shortages of food or other critical resources, which are the root cause of many migrations, for instance, during the Irish Potato famine which caused many to flee from Ireland to the United States due to the Starvation and ruined economy in Ireland at the time

How does public health care improvements during the progressive era still impact America?

So, at the time of the Progressive Era, major changes that were made relating to public health care were regulation of the meat packing industry, as well as the regulation of the Food and Drug industries. The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 banned interstate shipping of impure food and deliberate mislabeling of food and drugs. The Meat Inspection Act of 1906 required federal inspection of meat processing to ensure sanitary conditions. Both these acts are still active, and they have really changed the way we eat and our standards not only with food, but also with the pharmaceutical industry. Although the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) was developed later, this was the start. In these ways, the reforms of the Progressive Era affect our everyday lives, in a good way. This was also the start of health insurance, which some regard as good and others say is bad. Take it however you wish.
