Health Care

Our Values

Quality health care is a basic human right.

A national single-payer health care plan is the best method to control costs, ensuring access to affordable prescriptions and deliver the highest quality of care.

Health care decisions should be made by the patient and their health care professionals.

We support regulations of prescription drugs that reduce cost and are based on scientifically-sound research.

It is essential that our health care system treat all patients equally, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or economic status

• Institute a strong public option here in Washington State as a stepping stone on our way to a national single payer system
