Subject Support Equal Access to Health Care for Immigrants

Dear Legislator,

I write to urge you to support legislation that will ensure all Washingtonians have equitable access to health care coverage, regardless of immigration status.

Currently many immigrants have no way to obtain affordable health coverage, as their immigration status makes them ineligible for federal Medicaid and Qualified Health Plans. An estimated 46% of undocumented individuals are uninsured in Washington, compared to just 7% of the overall population lacking insurance. This means that thousands of immigrants go without critical health care services, putting their health and the health of the at-large community at risk.

The legislature must ensure that all Washington residents have equitable access to health care by supporting state-funded programs that create parity in health care coverage. Meeting the basic health care needs for all Washingtonians is a cost-effective policy that makes every community healthier.

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate Salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
