Concerning Universal Health Care.

Senate Joint Memorial 8004 is a petition from the Washington State Legislature to the federal government regarding universal health care. It requests that the federal government either establish a national universal health care program for all U.S. residents, or partner with Washington state to reduce barriers for the state to implement its own universal health system. Failing those, the memorial asks the federal government to grant Washington state the necessary waivers to create its own universal health care system.
