Universal Healthcare with Whole Washington Our goal: Healthcare for Washingtonians that's ALWAYS there, with no deductibles, co-pays, pre-authorizations, or price hikes. You and your doctor decide the care you need and then it's covered. No denials. No for-profit insurance companies. What's covered? Dental, vision, audiology, medical, rehab, physical therapy, mental health, prescription drugs, maternity/reproductive care, gender-affirming care, emergency care, end-of-life care, inpatient care, outpatient care What do you pay? $0 at the point of service. $250/year maximum for name-brand prescription drugs, with generic prescriptions fully covered. How is it funded? Payroll taxes on employers that range between 4.5% for small businesses to 10.5% for huge corporations, with a maximum of 2% to be paid by the employee. One monthly fee covers 100% of your care! How much do we save? Between $800 million and $2.5 billion in an implementation year and up to $5.6 billion annually, according to the Washington Healthcare Authority. Universal healthcare is cheaper than our current system. Learn more and join the fight for universal healthcare at wholewashington.org

The Washington Health Trust is in the House & the Senate. Affordable healthcare bills have been introduced since the 90s. It's time to pass one.

This legislation would cover all Washingtonians with public health insurance. Every Washingtonian deserves comprehensive & affordable healthcare.

Our Executive Director Andre Stackhouse and Disability Rights Advocate Annie Fitzgerald will represent Whole Washington and thousands of activists all over the state.

It's been years of meetings, and we need to know what's our plan to solve this crisis.
This is a page from the Commission's Meeting Materials. Some topics for discussion - What are some of the best ways you have found to communicate with people about universal healthcare? Sustainable models - Do you have any suggestions for the Commission as to how to approach this long-term change management effort to ensure that Washington's universal health care system is sustainable in the long term?

As advocates on the west coast, people often suggest CA, WA, and OR could merge to create a regional healthcare system. And it's true, when the country is in a healthcare crisis, the states will need to step up.

Mad about the Medicaid cuts?
Call your elected reps at 800-562-6000 or our Governor at 360-902-4111. Tell them to support the Washington Health Trust (SB5233/HB1445).
Mad about the Medicaid cuts? Want to fight back? Consider: Calling your elected reps! 1. Call Governor Ferguson at 360-902-4111 and demand he convene a special legislative session to address HR 1’s disastrous cuts to healthcare. 2. Leave a message for your state representatives at 800-562-6000 demanding they pass the Washington Health Trust (SB 5233/HB 1445) immediately. Take action at wholewashington.org/legislature

We can't express how entirely & thoroughly unsustainable this is! Universal Healthcare is the only way forward. It's time to invest in this movement, in this moment.

Please consider a recurring donation to Whole Washington. Let's bank on something entirely different.

Two questions for you. 1) Are you a union member? 2) Do you support Universal Healthcare?
If you answered YES! to both questions, you hold a significant amount of power. There's an open meeting tonight at 6PM for all union members to discuss convention and resolution processes.
