America In Solidarity is fully supporting Tacoma's Proposition #1 which the voters will decide upon in the November election.
Proposition #1 states: The City Council proposes to adopt a Resolution asking State and Federal lawmakers to enact legislation providing access to high-quality health care for all individuals.
All individuals need medical, dental, and mental health care. We in the United States spend more per capita on health care than any other industrialized country in the world. Unfortunately, 29,000 people in Tacoma , 113,000 in Pierce County , 800,000 in Washington State , and 47,000,000 in the United States are uninsured. Millions find their coverage eroding or disappearing completely. Everyone confronts disproportionately rising cost of medicines, premiums, co-pays, and deductibles.
America In Solidarity will be supporting this measure with phonebanks and other volunteer opportunities. Sign up as a volunteer (upper right corner) if you have not already.
