State Representative Sherry Appleton Endorses Matt Ready for Hospital Commissioner
On August 22 I met with Washington State Representative Sherry Appleton to discuss how we can work together to ensure all people have affordable access to healthcare. Representative Appleton is the sponsor of a bill to make Single Payer/ Universal Healthcare a reality in Washington State (HB 1085 Washington Health Security Trust). I believe every hospital commissioner in every public hospital district in Washington State should be engaged in the single payer discussion as it is the only way to stop out of control healthcare costs and bring comprehensive healthcare to all people.
My opponent is opposed to single payer healthcare. He seems to believe in a profit driven healthcare system. His solution is continue a system that limits care to those who cannot afford it, rather than risk longer wait times. If you would like to learn why 13,000 physicians disagree with my opponent, please visit Physicians for a National Health Plan. Here is his statement on single payer. If you wish to help my campaign, please write letters of support to the editor of the Peninsula Daily News and the Port Townsend Leader.
