8201 requires that 100% of investment income earned by the state’s Long-Term Care Fund is spent on long-term care services for vulnerable seniors and people with disabilities -- the legislature can’t spend it on anything else.

There's a reason that healthcare professionals, like those at the Washington State Nurses Association, the MS Society, and the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters, support 8201.

Approving 8201 helps grow our long-term care dollars -- and ensures our benefits will be there when we need them.
