This amendment to the WA State Constitution would establish a right to affordable health care for every resident of the state. The amendment declares it is the policy of the state to ensure that all WA residents have access to health care that is affordable. It tasks the legislature with creating laws and taking actions to implement and define this right, including determining what “affordable” means. The amendment does not automatically require the state to pay for all healthcare in all circumstances. Needs two-thirds majority in legislature for the amendment to go before voters for approval.
