I’ve a spinal twine damage. This damage has proven me simply how arduous it’s to afford long-term care. That’s why I’m voting “approve” on Senate Joint Decision 8201 this yr.
After I wanted long-term care, I needed to pay out-of-pocket as a result of my dad and mom have been unable to take break day to look after me. Now, our state has a long-term care fund that exists to assist folks like me in occasions of want. This fund may even be an important assist for almost all of Washingtonians who will in the future want long-term care — no matter why we’d like it.
SJR 8201 is a commonsense measure that may permit our long-term care funds to be invested by the impartial, nonpartisan Washington State Funding Board. This may assist maximize returns on our long-term care {dollars} in the identical approach that our state maximizes returns on different state profit and pension funds.
It’s a easy improve that makes our tax {dollars} go additional. Vote “approve” on 8201.
