Recently it has been all over the news in Washington State that Governor Jay Inslee and members of our legislature are planning on introducing what they refer to as a “public option” bill to “promote” healthcare for all.
In their carefully crafted press releases, articles, and press conference we heard the familiar words “access” and “affordable” in relationship to this bill. We also learned that this would not actually be a classic public option, which by definition is a government run healthcare plan that competes with private insurance. No, rather this bill, according the Governor’s own Medium article, would have taxpayer money going to for-profit insurance companies.
We demand better. We demand true healthcare for all. Please sign this petition to let Governor Inslee and the Washington State Legislature know that we want them to introduce a universal healthcare bill.
Once you sign, please share it via email and social media! To really drive it home, you can also contact Governor Inslee and your legislative district representatives directly by calling the following numbers:
- Governor Jay Inslee: 360-902-4111
- Your State Representatives: 360-786-7573
Thank you for your support!
