Dear Governor: About That Healthcare Crisis
Dear Governor: About That Healthcare Crisis is a compilation of open letters to the next governor of Washington State. The contributors are leading public policy and healthcare professionals in the state. Healthcare spending now constitutes $9.7 billion of the Washington State budget, while 750,000 Washingtonians have no health coverage. Of those who do have coverage, 1.3 million will spend more than 10% of their income on healthcare.
More than 20 leading Washington State leaders: CEOs, civic leaders, union officials, political observers, patients, non-profit groups and physicians share their perspective on reform and improving our beleaguered system.
