This year, thousands of immigrants will lose access to their health care just because they're immigrants. An estimated 30,000-40,000 are losing their affordable health insurance, including 2,700 elders and people with disabilities who face losing their caregivers and 10,000 who have already lost assistance. Washington lawmakers have stepped up to fund care for some through state long-term care, Apple Health Expansion, and Cascade Care Savings -- but under the budgets they've proposed, most will still lose care.
We need to send a clear message in Olympia: no one should lose access to care just because of where they were born. There's still time for our state lawmakers to fix the budget and fund care for all.
Join us on Tuesday March 3rd in Olympia to tell legislators: no cuts to care for immigrants.
