Save Health Care in Washington — a non-profit grassroots campaign to expand access to affordable health care in Washington State

Breaking News: We Made A Difference!

The State legislature reached a budget agreement on April 11, 2012 that preserved Washington State’s health care safety net. Thanks to our legislators’ foresight to protect Basic Health, Disability Lifeline Medical and Apple Health for Kids, Washingtonians are breathing a sigh of relief as they learn that these essential programs were saved in the face of a dire budget crisis.

Together we sent thousands of urgent messages to the legislature to stand up for health care and the people of Washington State, and made a difference. This is the time to pause and celebrate, but the fight to save health care is ongoing!
