ACTION ALERT: Here are 3 quick actions HCHR needs you to take to support the 2024 Policy Agenda! Sign in "Pro" for the 3 bills below ASAP! Share with your organizations, friends, and family!

Support Healthcare Cost Transparency:
HB 1508 has been on our radar for a while. Tell the Senate it's time to bring down costs and put patients at the center of our health care system. Sign in "Pro" in by 9:30am on Thursday 2/15 to have your voice heard. https://app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Testifier/Add?chamber=Senate&mId=31944&aId=159003&caId=23985&tId=3

Support Maternal Health Services:
HB 5580 Expands Maternal Health services in Apple Health, allowing more Washingtonians to access Apple Health and supportive services during their pregnancies and post-partum. There is a hearing in House Health and Wellness on Friday at 8am.
https://app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Testifier/Add?chamber=House&mId=31931&aId=159279&caId=24160&tId=3

Support Preventative Services With No Cost Sharing:
As mentioned in our Policy Agenda, HB 1957 would codify the Affordable Care Act's preventive services, such as contraception, as requirements under state law for protection against national attacks. This bill is worth fighting for and has a hearing in Senate Health & Long Term Care on Friday at 8am.

Let’s add single-payer universal health care to the list of those improvements! Every American worker deserves to know that they have access to affordable and fair health care.
