Washington State Standard | October 2, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roughly 10,000 immigrants in Washington are losing their Medicaid health coverage due to federal cuts Republicans in Congress approved last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, a provision in President Donald Trump\u2019s signature tax cut and spending law stripped Medicaid coverage<\/a> for refugees, asylees and other lawfully present immigrants, including people who fled the war in Ukraine and trafficking victims, for example. Some of them have disabilities and receive long-term care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advocates say this will lead to many of these individuals getting sicker and putting themselves in danger of dying earlier than they would if they had health insurance. This will further strain hospitals as these patients will fill emergency rooms for treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost of them cannot possibly afford to buy insurance on their own, so will be left with no coverage at all, no access to primary care doctors, no access to prescription drugs, no access to the care that they need,\u201d Service Employees International Union 775 Secretary-Treasurer Adam Glickman told reporters Thursday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A federal judge in Seattle on Wednesday provided a temporary reprieve for a segment of those immigrants, saying those who receive Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, are still eligible for Medicaid, despite rules from federal officials trying to flout this longstanding precedent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ruling<\/a> from U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Zilly allows an estimated 800 migrants to keep their coverage for the time being. The feds can appeal the preliminary order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee Che Leong, senior policy advocate with Northwest Health Law Advocates, called Zilly\u2019s decision a \u201ccrucial victory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roughly 3,000 other lawfully present immigrants would have lost their coverage if not for efforts by state officials who updated their immigration information to enable them to keep their Apple Health, the state\u2019s low-income insurance program. Initial projections showed 14,000 noncitizens losing coverage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The federal law maintains coverage for lawful permanent residents<\/a> with green cards and other select categories of migrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come January, it will knock tens of thousands more Washingtonians off Apple Health when new strict work requirements take effect  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 1.9 million residents in Washington are enrolled in Apple Health. Of those, at least 200,000<\/a> are projected to be stripped of coverage by the end of 2027 as a result of the Republican-backed law, according to state officials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critics of the law fear thousands will lose their healthcare despite meeting the new work requirements because of what they see as cumbersome paperwork barriers to maintaining Medicaid. The state is spending millions of dollars on IT services to verify enrollees meet the forthcoming requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Conditions will get worse\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of the thousands being kicked off Medicaid on Thursday, two in five live in King County, according to county Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda. She argued the cuts will mean less financial reimbursements for healthcare systems. The effects of this will trickle down to patients with insurance, some of whom could wind up paying higher premiums to make up the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople will be laid off in clinics and hospitals around our county and state,\u201d Mosqueda said in a press conference. \u201cWait times will soar and care will be delayed. Conditions will get worse and more people will die.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gov. Bob Ferguson, a Democrat, last month signed an executive order<\/a> aimed at finding ways to keep Washingtonians insured. It set up a committee of state officials to develop strategies and identify state actions that will help people maintain their coverage. The order also directs a statewide public awareness campaign to let enrollees know about the cuts, and the creation of a database to track coverage losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glickman and other advocates are calling on Ferguson and state lawmakers to fill the gap with state funding so these migrants can regain healthcare. Some are pushing for tax increases to pay for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mosqueda said King County should follow Los Angeles County, which is implementing a new sales tax hike to raise $1 billion per year in response to the Medicaid cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington is one of a number of states that provide Medicaid to residents who don\u2019t qualify for the federal program due to immigration status<\/a>, but capacity is limited. The option is fully state funded. Immigrants without legal status are ineligible for federally funded health insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile some people may qualify for other Apple Health programs or coverage through Washington Healthplanfinder, understanding those options now is critical to avoiding gaps in care,\u201d said Leanne Berge, the CEO of Community Health Plan of Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Legislature earmarked nearly $20 million to ensure immigrants here could retain long-term care insurance coverage despite the federal cuts, but the money isn\u2019t expected to go nearly as far as lawmakers expected<\/a>. Though this week\u2019s court ruling could allow that state funding to cover more enrollees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immigrants who remain eligible must be lawful permanent residents, Compact of Free Association<\/a> islanders or Cuban or Haitian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This position would\u2019ve reportedly cost the state around $367 million. Since the state balked, the union dropped its request to a 3% increase next year and 5% the year after.<br><br>\u201cWe were certainly deeply disappointed by the state\u2019s proposal,\u201d said Adam Glickman, secretary-treasurer for SEIU 775. \u201cThis will have a broad impact on the ability of seniors and people with disabilities to find caregivers, to keep caregivers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A state Office of Financial Management spokesperson declined to comment on the pending negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The negotiations would cover about 80,000 care workers across Washington. Most are union represented, while others work for private, state-contracted home care agencies. Even though the state\u2019s offer doesn\u2019t include pay hikes, other costs would total roughly $60 million extra from the state budget over the next two fiscal years, according to state estimates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These contracts talks come as the governor and lawmakers expect the state to face a financial shortfall going into the 2027 legislative session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On different pages over wages<\/strong><br>This year, the state is paying $37.42 per hour in Medicaid reimbursements for caregivers, including health insurance, retirement benefits, paid time off and mileage reimbursement. The workers generally make between $22 and $25 per hour, Glickman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The state would keep this hourly rate roughly the same next year, and up it to $38.13 in the 2029 fiscal year, to account for a requested increase in the workers\u2019 health benefits and an updated mileage reimbursement rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The caregivers originally proposed $39.17 per hour in the next fiscal year, and $41.74 the year after, and are now countering the state with $38.44 next year and $40.68 the following. The total estimated cost of this plan for the state is around $224 million, about $140 million less than the union\u2019s initial position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonstatestandard.com\/2026\/08\/17\/as-wa-caregiver-union-pushes-for-pay-hike-state-seeks-wage-freeze\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/washingtonstatestandard.com\/2026\/08\/17\/as-wa-caregiver-union-pushes-for-pay-hike-state-seeks-wage-freeze\/\">Read the full article at the\u00a0<strong>Washington State Standard<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington State Standard | August 17, 2026 Negotiations between the two sides will affect pay for about 80,000 workers and come as the state is grappling with budget trouble.

A los cuidadores que cumpl\u00edan con los requisitos se les imped\u00eda comenzar a brindar atenci\u00f3n remunerada o continuar haci\u00e9ndolo. Con frecuencia, problemas menores, como arrojar basura o deambular, daban lugar a revisiones de car\u00e1cter, competencia y aptitud (CC&S), lo que provocaba demoras innecesarias para que los cuidadores pudieran volver a trabajar. Los requisitos relacionados con las huellas digitales tambi\u00e9n provocaban largos tiempos de espera, lo que retrasaba a\u00fan m\u00e1s la posibilidad de que los cuidadores se ganaran la vida y afectaba la atenci\u00f3n de los clientes durante meses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Este sistema afectaba de manera desproporcionada a los cuidadores negros, ind\u00edgenas y latinx, a los cuidadores que hablan idiomas distintos al ingl\u00e9s y a los cuidadores trans y no binarios, lo que profundizaba las desigualdades existentes. Los empleadores ten\u00edan dificultades para manejar la complejidad y ambig\u00fcedad de los requisitos del estado, lo que daba lugar a interpretaciones inconsistentes sobre c\u00f3mo cumplir con el proceso.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 es \u201cLet Us Work\u201d (D\u00e9jennos trabajar)?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En 2024, cuando SEIU\u00a0775, la Uni\u00f3n de los cuidadores, se enter\u00f3 de lo que estaban atravesando los cuidadores y los clientes, supimos que ten\u00edamos que actuar. Comenzamos a impulsar el cambio en Olympia para arreglar el complicado y engorroso proceso de verificaci\u00f3n de antecedentes del estado al aprobar el proyecto de ley \u201cLet Us Work\u201d (D\u00e9jennos trabajar).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luchamos y ganamos, manteniendo los altos est\u00e1ndares de Washington para los cuidadores e hicimos que el proceso de verificaci\u00f3n de antecedentes fuera m\u00e1s justo y eficiente, para que los cuidadores puedan dedicarse a lo que mejor hacen: cuidar de nuestros seres queridos.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gracias a la labor de defensa de nuestra Uni\u00f3n en Olympia, logramos aprobar la ley \u201cLet Us Work\u201d (D\u00e9jennos trabajar), para que los cuidadores ya no enfrenten demoras innecesarias ni per\u00edodos sin remuneraci\u00f3n debido a las verificaciones de antecedentes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Qu\u00e9 fue lo que aprobaron los cuidadores<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Entre las mejoras logradas mediante la ley \u201cLet Us Work\u201d (D\u00e9jennos trabajar) para todos los cuidadores domiciliarios en Washington se incluyen las siguientes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Se redujeron las brechas en la atenci\u00f3n, permitiendo que los cuidadores <strong>contin\u00faen brindando atenci\u00f3n remunerada por un per\u00edodo de 30\u00a0d\u00edas<\/strong> mientras se someten a las revisiones de CC&S en el caso de acciones no descalificantes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Se eliminaron las revisiones innecesarias de CC&S. <\/strong>Ahora, los cuidadores que cuenten con acciones no descalificantes que ya fueron revisadas por el mismo empleador, as\u00ed como acciones no descalificantes que ocurrieron hace m\u00e1s de 10\u00a0a\u00f1os, ya no tendr\u00e1n que someterse a una revisi\u00f3n de CC&S.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ahora, el estado debe <strong>desarrollar est\u00e1ndares en virtud de los cuales se deber\u00e1n realizar las revisiones de CC&S<\/strong>, con el fin de garantizar un proceso de revisi\u00f3n equitativo para los cuidadores.\u202f\u202f<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ahora se les proporcionará claridad y consistencia a los empleadores acerca de los requisitos relacionados con huellas dactilares.<\/strong> Las huellas dactilares solo serán obligatorias para:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>las contrataciones iniciales,\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>los casos en los que la ley federal las exija,\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>los cuidadores que han vivido fuera de Washington,\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>las inquietudes documentadas y de buena fe.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Entre las mejoras adicionales de nuestro contrato con CDWA para el per\u00edodo 2025-2027 se incluyen las siguientes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>CDWA debe enviar recordatorios sobre el vencimiento de la verificaci\u00f3n de antecedentes con 90 y 30\u00a0d\u00edas de antelaci\u00f3n mediante correo electr\u00f3nico, mensaje de texto y notificaci\u00f3n en el portal, en el idioma de preferencia del cuidador<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Los cuidadores pueden solicitar la asistencia de CDWA, incluida la ayuda con otros idiomas, cuando est\u00e9n completando los formularios de verificaci\u00f3n de antecedentes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Las revisiones de CC&S se deben completar en un plazo de <strong>7\u00a0d\u00edas<\/strong> a partir de la recepci\u00f3n de toda la informaci\u00f3n necesaria<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Los coordinadores de servicios deben proporcionar actualizaciones exactas y oportunas sobre el estado de la verificaci\u00f3n de antecedentes, en caso de que se soliciten<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transparencia y rendición de cuentas de CDWA:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>CDWA debe notificar a los cuidadores y a nuestra Uni\u00f3n antes de realizar cualquier cambio en los requisitos de verificaci\u00f3n de antecedentes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CDWA debe avisarle a nuestra

Dan Sullivan refused to meet with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My brother, son and dad all live with me and rely on me for care. When I first learned of <a href=\"https:\/\/alaskapublic.org\/news\/health\/2025-03-11\/how-major-cuts-to-medicaid-could-be-catastrophic-even-for-alaskans-with-private-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Medicaid cuts coming to Alaska<\/a>, I was immediately concerned. Attacking paid family caregiving could overwhelm a system that\u2019s already strained, with too few workers and long waiting lists for services. The overhaul of this safety net would take healthcare away from children, seniors and veterans, as well as hurt healthcare professionals who care for our loved ones in hospitals, nursing homes and through home care funded by Medicaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktoo.org\/2023\/09\/19\/as-alaska-works-through-medicaid-renewals-only-about-a-third-of-people-are-staying-covered\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one-third of Alaskans<\/a> rely on Medicaid for healthcare, but as a rural state, we\u2019re uniquely reliant on Medicaid funding for our hospitals. Even if you aren\u2019t on Medicaid, those cuts are raising healthcare costs for everyone by ripping away revenue sources for our providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=2090832081406634\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">when I <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=2090832081406634\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">went to Washington, D.C.<\/a>, to warn about the impact these cuts would have on Alaskans, Dan Sullivan didn\u2019t show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The overhaul of this safety net is taking healthcare away from children, seniors and veterans, as well as hurting healthcare professionals who care for our loved ones in hospitals, nursing homes and through home care funded by Medicaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only do one-third of Alaskans rely on Medicaid for healthcare, but as a rural state, we\u2019re uniquely reliant on Medicaid funding for our hospitals. Even if you aren\u2019t on Medicaid, those cuts are raising healthcare costs for everyone by ripping away revenue sources for our providers. I knew these cuts would devastate Alaska, and I demanded answers from Dan Sullivan about why he supported them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After spending weeks finding caregiving coverage for my family, I was finally able to make a trip to Washington, D.C., to ask Dan about his support for these cuts in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After sitting and waiting for an hour with my fellow union members, Sullivan refused to speak with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, Sullivan caved and sent a staff member to sit with us for all of 15 minutes \u2026 and I could see that instead of taking notes, he was just doodling in his notebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was just one of three trips I\u2019ve made where Dan Sullivan has refused to meet with me \u2014 a fellow Alaskan and one of his constituents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why won\u2019t Sullivan meet with the Alaskans he was elected to represent? Is he ignorant of the crisis he\u2019s created? Is he ashamed of his votes to rip away care and coverage? Scared to face us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m still waiting on those answers, and he\u2019s still trying to take away more. As the senator for Alaska, his vote to gut Medicaid is simply unconscionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dan Sullivan <a href=\"https:\/\/alaskabeacon.com\/2025\/07\/02\/alaska-us-sen-dan-sullivan-praises-the-federal-megabill-for-alaska-no-state-fared-better\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claimed<\/a> that \u201cno state fared better\u201d under his bill, but since it was signed into law, nearly 10,000 Alaskans have dropped off the Medicaid rolls. And with his repeated votes for the price-hiking war in Iran that\u2019s skyrocketed the cost of living in Alaska even further, I\u2019m confident that those 10,000 Alaskans weren\u2019t magically able to afford healthcare elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Approximately 8 million family caregivers like me rely on Medicaid for their own medical care, and 11 million receive stipends through the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alaska already has one of the highest rates of individuals unable to access services, and cutting Medicaid is deepening the crisis. Alaska is also one of the fastest-aging states in the country. Without caregivers and peer support, Alaskans will fall through the cracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our safety net is being stripped, and Dan Sullivan refuses to take accountability for his actions. It\u2019s clear he has simply lost touch with Alaskans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Betty Redd-Mendez<\/strong>\u00a0is a member of SEIU 775, the caregivers union which represents more than 60,000 long-term care workers providing home care, nursing home care and residential services in Washington, Montana and Alaska.

This is part of the implementation of HR 1, Trump\u2019s budget bill signed into law last year, called the \u201cBig Bad Betrayal Bill\u201d by Rep. Jayapal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The No Cuts to Healthcare coalition is made up of a wide range of advocacy groups working to stop the cuts to immigrant healthcare, including: WA School-Based Health Alliance, Pro-Choice Washington, Northwest Health Law Advocates, OneAmerica, Washington State LTC Ombudsman Program, Economic Opportunity Institute, Firelands Workers United \/ Trabajadores Unidos, Chinese Information and Service Center, Asian Counseling and Referral Service, CISC, Project Access Northwest, Neighborhood House, WPSR, Washington State Budget and Policy Center, and SEIU 775.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Statements from roundtable panelists:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rep. Pramila Jayapal<\/strong>: \u201cThank you to SEIU 775 and the impacted caregivers, community, and family members who spoke truth to power at yesterday’s event. When Trump and Republicans passed their Big Bad Betrayal, they stripped healthcare from millions of people in this country \u2013 and also specifically targeted immigrant communities. The No Cuts to Healthcare Coalition is bringing voices together from across our community to show just how devastating this will be in Seattle and nationwide. I am grateful to have state and local partners who are fighting to protect the most vulnerable in our communities \u2013 and in Congress, I will be standing strong to demand a reversal to these cuts that are devastating families. We have the money to take care of all people, as evidenced by the billions of dollars Republicans are greenlighting for Trump\u2019s war of choice in Iran. It is time we actually invest at home to save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sterling Harders, President of SEIU 775<\/strong>: \u201cWhile Trump and Congressional Republicans are to blame for cutting Medicaid and attacking immigrants every way they can, Governor Ferguson and the legislature are working to protect vulnerable residents. They appropriated about twenty million dollars of state funds to cover the cost of people losing care, and they have worked closely with advocates and clients to get more people eligible for Medicaid. And of course they passed the Millionaires Tax to help fund these services in the future. Unfortunately, the federal government is implementing the cuts quicker and in a more draconian fashion than expected, and so the funds appropriated won\u2019t go far enough to protect everyone from these cuts. While we appreciate what has been done thus far, we are asking the Governor and legislature to step up again and do everything possible to avoid the crisis of 1300 vulnerable seniors and people with disabilities losing care. We urge them to authorize emergency spending to stop this catastrophe before it happens and allow the legislature more time to find a long-term solution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>State Senator Manka Dhingra: <\/strong>\u201cOur intent as compassionate lawmakers was to pass a budget that prevented everyone at risk of losing their long-term care from this horrific situation. Not only is it the right thing to do, as practical lawmakers we know that protecting care is the fiscally responsible thing to do. I can\u2019t speak for all legislators, but I do know that this was a priority of the Democrats in the legislature, the Members of Color Caucus and the Governor this session \u2013 we understand the real harm to people when coverage is cut.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Liliana Chernova, caregiver<\/strong>: \u201cMy husband and I fled to Washington from Ukraine in 2022 so our family could survive. Now, our lives are still being threatened – not by bombs, but by the looming threat of lifesaving health care being ripped away from us simply because we are immigrants. We are forced to hope and pray that my mother-in-law and daughter are not left behind. We came to this country because we needed support. Washington became our home and welcomed us in. Now we\u2019re asking state lawmakers to do the same. Our state can fill in the gap left by a federal government that is hostile to people like us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Zosia Stanley, Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel, Washington State Hospital Association<\/strong>: \u201cWhen people lose health insurance, their health care needs do not disappear. Hospitals provide care regardless of a person’s ability to pay, but they cannot absorb unlimited costs from coverage losses and funding cuts. These shortfalls will force service reductions that affect access to care for all Washington patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Viktoriia, Case Manager at Neighborhood House<\/strong>: \u201cI see this every day in my work, and I live it every day at home: home and community-based care is not just compassionate; it is cost-effective. It keeps people out of hospitals and out of expensive institutions. It strengthens families, and it saves public resources. We are our client’s safety and without us, what will happen?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>### <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>SEIU 775, the caregivers Union, represents more than 60,000 long-term care workers providing quality home care, nursing home care, and residential services in Washington, Montana, and Alaska. <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seiu775.org\"><em>www.seiu775.org<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No Cuts to Healthcare Coalition Outlines Devastating Cuts to Immigrant Healthcare Coming Oct 1 due to Trump\u2019s HR 1 SEIU 775: We urge Gov and Legislature to \u201cauthorize emergency spending to stop this catastrophe before it happens\u201d SEATTLE, WA\u2014 Yesterday, the No Cuts to Healthcare coalition held a roundtable with Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal on the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4686,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Press Release: Rep.
