Bob Ferguson on Health Care

 

 


Instead of CDC we listen to experts relying on science

Speaking of challenges with the federal government, the Centers for Disease Control has seen an exodus of scientific experts and alarming shifts in policy that place Washingtonians' health at risk. I immediately took action and teamed up with other Governors to form the West Coast Health Alliance. The Alliance ensures Washingtonians will continue to receive responsible recommendations from health experts who rely on, you guessed it, science.

Defended the Affordable Care Act from legal attack

Bob successfully defended the Affordable Care Act from the legal attack from the Trump Administration and Republican attorneys general. His Supreme Court victory preserved health care for 825,000 Washingtonians, including those with preexisting conditions. It also prevented painful increases in prescription drug costs for Washington seniors.Bob then wrote and passed legislation that guaranteed 4 million Washingtonians access to free and reduced-cost hospital care.
