This is good news. Thanks to the collective organizing work from directly impacted people and our champions in #WALeg, uninsured immigrants who have been unable to access life-saving health care because of their citizenship status are another step closer to gaining access. (2/4)

Still, the funding for the Medicaid equivalent program at its current levels will leave continued gaps in coverage. We’ll continue to work with legislators to build upon these programs & advance health equity for immigrants. (3/4)

All immigrants in WA state need access to permanent, codified health coverage programs. #WAISN is proud to be working with our #HEIC Campaign partners Columbia Legal, ACLU Washington, Asian Counselling and Referral Service, Northwest Health Law Advocates, Legal Voice and community advocates who worked tirelessly to secure this victory for WA immigrants.
