Senate Joint Resolution 8201 is known as the "Allow Investment of Long-Term Services and Supports Trust Fund Amendment." SJR 8201 would enact a constitutional amendment that would allow the Long-Term Services and Supports Trust Fund, also known as the WA Cares Fund, to invest in stocks, rather than being limited to more conservative fixed-income securities. If passed, the amendment would allow the independent Washington State Investment Board to manage a portion of the fund reserves to increase its growth.

SJR 8201 takes a proactive approach to mitigate the billions in funding cuts to Medicaid by protecting and growing our long-term care program. The measure has garnered widespread, bipartisan support from medical professionals, the Washington Health Care Association, and over 100 organizations and leaders across the political spectrum.

With the current administration's attacks on Medicaid, we must be proactive in securing our future health care choices. Vote APPROVED on Senate Joint Resolution 8201 to secure and grow our WA Cares Fund.
