ABOUT THIS BILL

Support solutions that advance health equity for immigrants:

In the 2023-2025 biennium budget, the Legislature prioritized equity and the needs of immigrant communities by providing funding for a Medicaid-like program for undocumented immigrants under 138% of the federal poverty line (FPL) and premium subsidy assistance for those under 250% FPL who purchase their plan on the state’s Healthplanfinder. The Health Equity for Immigrants Campaign, a coalition of community organizations, providers and advocates working to improve health access and outcomes for all Washington residents, appreciates that effort and continues its work to lift up community-identified priorities and address gaps in coverage and services that prevent immigrants from receiving equitable access to affordable care. We call on the Legislature to advance solutions in the 2025 legislative session that ensure our immigrant populations get the health coverage and care they need. A healthy, resilient Washington requires healthy, resilient communities.
