The legislative team

HCA's legislative team engages on state and federal policy issues to help ensure Washington State residents — from public employees to Washington Apple Health (Medicaid) clients — have access to high-quality health care at the best possible cost.

Our work includes:

  • Monitoring state and federal legislation — and giving guidance to lawmakers, when needed, about how to best serve our constituents.
  • Proposing state legislation that benefits how we serve our constituents.
  • Keeping lawmakers and stakeholders informed on the latest issues affecting the health care industry and our efforts to transform health care.
