There are a handful of single-payer bills sitting in Olympia right now, just waiting to get some action. If you’re tired of paying more money for worse health care coverage, if you count half a million Washington residents living without health insurance even with the Affordable Care Act in place as a moral failure, and if the thought of demonstrably inefficient health insurance companies profiting off the plight of the sick makes you sick, then what you need to do is call Rep. Eileen Cody, D-Seattle, and demand hearings on a bill sponsored by Rep. Sherry Appleton, D-Poulsbo (HB 1026). Then call Sen. Ann Rivers, R-La Center, and demand hearings on a separate bill sponsored by Sen. David Frockt, D-Seattle (SB 5701).
You should also call your own State Rep and Senator and tell them you want them to move on this. If you don’t know who that person is, find them using this handy tool.
