"Our status quo healthcare system is failing people, and the incoming impacts of H.R. 1 will only make it harder for people to access the care that they need. It is no longer enough to simply say that healthcare is a human right; we have to start acting like it. I was raised in the belief that taking care of people isn't optional--it's who we are. Whole Washington reflects that same belief: No one in this state should go without care because they can't afford it."
