Health Care in the 2024 Washington Legislature
Nearly four years after the pandemic, many Washingtonians still don't have access to affordable health coverage and care. Despite seismic shifts in our health care system, too many still cannot access care due to historical and ongoing inequities. In the "short" 2024 legislative session lasting only 60 days, we focused our advocacy on three key health care priorities: improving equity, increasing access, and addressing affordability.
See our Featured Policy Priorities page for an overview of this session. You’ll also find updates as they happened in our blog posts as well as our work in previous sessions.
Our Impact
"Within weeks of NoHLA's Medicaid training, I was able to use the information you taught us to identify numerous cases in which families were wrongly denied coverage—and to bring those cases forward to get them resolved.
By giving all of us tools and knowledge to successfully advocate for people, NoHLA has impacted so many lives – making healthcare accessible and helping families avoid financial disaster."
– Cathy Aby Health Educator,
Public Health Seattle & King County
"I want to tell you how much I enjoy your presentations at First Friday Forum. I get happy when I see NoHLA on the agenda, and kinda sad without it!"
