Tell Your Lawmakers WHY to Oppose Cuts to Healthcare Funding!
Lawmakers may soon slash Apple Health, Medicaid, and public health services by hundreds of millions.
That’s because we’re facing a $12 billion budget shortfall while mega-millionaires and billionaires contribute a far smaller share in taxes than the rest of us.
If Washington’s healthcare is cut, pregnant mothers and newborns would not be able to access important prenatal, birth, and postnatal care. About 40% of baby births in Washington are currently covered by state-funded healthcare.
Young children in Washington, an estimated 47% of kids under 6, depend on state-sponsored healthcare. The numbers are even higher in rural areas where many small employers cannot afford to offer private insurance to their employees’ families.
Tens of thousands of vulnerable seniors and people with disabilities also rely on Washington for long-term care in their homes or in residential care facilities.
We need to fund more healthcare, not cut it.
Tell your lawmakers WHY you want them to protect healthcare funding by making sure Washington’s wealthiest people and big corporations pay what they owe in state taxes.
