At Healthy Washington Lobby Day, you'll meet your lawmakers, receive training on the top health care issues facing our state, and join with hundreds of others to take action for health care reform.

This is the opportunity for you to let your lawmakers know how important health care reform is to you. The economic crisis has put enormous strain on family, business, and state budgets. In response, deep cuts to health care safety net programs have been proposed. This is precisely the wrong direction.

Healthy Washington Lobby Day will be an opportunity to send a message to lawmakers that we need a visionary response to the economic crisis. We need to fix health care to help fix the economy.

Lawmakers should use health care dollars provided by the federal economic stimulus package to prevent cuts to health care safety net programs, while also developing a blueprint for comprehensive reform to guarantee all Washingtonians quality, affordable health care.
