“All Washingtonians deserve the basic security of good-quality health care,” said Liias. “The Affordable Care Act is the kind of health care reform we need to ensure all families have the opportunities and quality of life we deserve.”
Under the Affordable Care Act, Washington state residents will see immediate benefits, such as:
- Coverage expansions provide support for health coverage for early retirees.
- Small business owners will be eligible for a small business tax credit when providing insurance plans for employees.
- Washington seniors will receive assistance closing the Medicare Part D “donut hole,” as well as access to free preventative care.
“As a nation, we simply cannot afford to fall back on this progress. We must move forward in providing affordable health care to all of Washington,” Liias said.
