The resolution proposes a new constitutional amendment for the state of Washington, which will be presented to voters in the next general election. This amendment, designated as Article XXXIII, establishes the right to affordable health care for every resident of Washington. It asserts that it is the state's obligation to ensure access to cost-effective and clinically appropriate health care as a fundamental right.
Additionally, the resolution emphasizes that the state's obligation to provide affordable health care must be balanced with the public interest in funding other essential services. It specifies that any legal actions taken to enforce this right should not disrupt this balance. To ensure public awareness, the resolution mandates that the secretary of state publish notice of the proposed amendment in legal newspapers throughout the state in the weeks leading up to the election.
