Health Care for All - Washington 2011/2012 Goals

• Lobby our Legislators to reintroduce the Washington Health Security Trust [HB 1096/SB 5609] as a way to remedy collapsing health care coverage in Washington state.

• Lobby our Congressional delegation to support the Sanders-Leahy Bill, S. 73/HR 439 The "State Leadership in Health Care Act," which eliminates the prohibition on state experimentation with universal plans before 2017.

• Lobby our Congressional delegation to support the American Health Security Act of 2011, H.R.1200/S.915.
• Lobby our Legislators to send a memorial to Congress to allow state experimentation with universal plans before 2017.

Universal Healthcare is Still Possible - Sooner, Better, Cheaper
