Join the movement for healthcare justice in Washington

Every year, thousands of Washingtonians skip care, ration medications, or drown in medical debt while insurance companies post record profits. It doesn’t have to be this way — and this is the room where we’re going to change it.

Come spend an afternoon with the organizers, advocates, and lawmakers who are building a Washington where healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Bring your questions. Bring a friend. Bring your fight.

Keynote Speakers: 
Rep. Tarra Simmons and Rep. Nicole Macri

Representative Tarra Simmons 

Presentation by Washington state Representative from LD 23. She is a leader in the fight for affordability in healthcare, food assistance, housing, and education. Come hear her strong voice and her fight for everyone in the community.

Representative Nicole Macri

Presentation by Washington state Representative from LD 43. She is a true healthcare champion who has led our state on the pathway to universal healthcare including the creation of the Universal Health Care Commission. She is an advocate for affordable healthcare for the most vulnerable members of our community, reproductive health access, long-term care for our loved ones, and behavioral health and essential issues in overcoming substance use disorders. She works tirelessly to overcome homelessness and expand LGTBQ civil rights.

Featured Speaker: Sheldon Toubman, Disability Rights Connecticut

What if we could deliver better care, cover more people, and save money — all at once? Connecticut did it. Sheldon Toubman helped lead the fight to move the management of their Medicaid program from for-profit entities back to the state.

Sheldon will share how they won the fight, what it means for Washington’s Apple Health program, and why HCFA-WA is pushing for a Washington study to measure the savings we could unlock by following Connecticut’s lead. This is the evidence-based strategy that we need.
