The bill is a memorial from the Washington State Legislature urging the federal government to create a universal health care program that ensures all residents have timely access to health care services without incurring significant debt. It highlights the current issues within the health care system, including rising costs, medical debt, and inadequate coverage, particularly affecting marginalized communities. The memorial emphasizes the need for a single-payer health plan in Washington, which would replace the existing multipayer system and establish a state agency to finance all medically necessary health care, ultimately reducing financial barriers and administrative waste.

In the event that the federal government does not take action to create a universal health care program, the memorial requests that it partner with Washington State to facilitate the implementation of a single-payer system or grant the state the necessary waivers to remove restrictions on creating such a system. The memorial calls for a fairer and more equitable health care system that empowers communities and promotes better health outcomes, while also benefiting businesses by lowering health care costs and removing the burden of selecting insurance programs.
