Whole Washington to host a series of Town Halls across the state- next stop, Aberdeen

Aberdeen - Whole Washington is crossing the state to talk to communities all over about Washington’s healthcare system. Their “Let's Make Healthcare Happen!” town halls are non-partisan, educational events, open to everyone. The Aberdeen Town Hall will be on April 30 from 4 to 5 PM at the Aberdeen Timberland Library.

Whole Washington endorses the Washington Health Trust (as described in Initiative 1471 and Senate Bill 5335), which would establish the first state-wide, publicly financed, not for profit, healthcare system in the U.S. Instead of multiple private insurance companies and multiple profit-driven programs, the Washington Health Trust would pay the healthcare expenses of Washington State residents. This legislation was written by citizens, for citizens, free from the influence of corporate interests. Whole Washington’s goal is comprehensive universal healthcare, from cradle-to-grave with no one left out.

At each event, Whole Washington organizers will present 20 minutes of material about the Washington Health Trust and then move into discussion with participants. The goal of these meetings is to gather input from the community to inform and refine the proposed legislation before the next legislative session. To participate, RSVP here.
