Why does Washington need a strong WA Cares Fund? 70% of Washington residents will need long term care, for a start! WA Cares is a mandatory long-term care insurance program established by Washington state law in 2019. Ruth Egger, consumer representative on the Long-Term Services & Support Trust Commission, and Erin Lee, Coordinator for No On I-2124 took us on a deep dive into the need for the WA Cares Fund and a 2024 ballot initiative that may destroy the program. Washington was the first state in the nation to create a public long-term care benefits program. This short video explains the program and the ballot initiative so that you can make an informed opinion when you vote.
