Whole Washington supports universal healthcare for all - no matter what state you live in. The two federal proposals we consider highly relevant to our work are Medicare for All (M4A) and the State Based Universal Health Care Act (SBUHCA).
Medicare for All
The Medicare for All Act (M4A) would create a universal healthcare system similar to the Washington Health Trust except at the national level. It has been proudly carried by Washington’s own Representative Pramila Jayapal since 2019.
- H.R.3609 was introduced by Representative Pramila Jayapal (WA-07) and is cosponsored by 29 of the 435 members of the House.
- S.1506 was introduced by Vermont Senator Ed Markey and is cosponsored by 3 of the 100 members of the Senate.
State Based Universal Health Care Act
The State Based Universal Health Care Act (SBUHCA) would make it easier for states like Washington to integrate fully integrate federal funding and programs with a state-level universal healthcare system.
- H.R.4406 was introduced by Representative Ro Khanna (CA-17) and is cosponsored by 29 of the 435 members of the House.
- S.2286 was introduced by Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey and is cosponsored by 3 of the 100 members of the Senate.
