Today is day 93 of the 105-day legislative session. For such an abnormal period of time, with most of the session activities conducted virtually, this has been a somewhat ambitious session for Democratic majorities. Recent long sessions have seen some significant progressive legislating, like the public option bill and the long term care trust from 2019. This is a shift from a previously divided legislature and even the recession-hardened legislatures of most of the Gregoire years. Prior to that, the Locke years were largely centrist, too.

Our new 2021 State of Reform Federal Health Policy Conference is coming together well. We will release the full list of over 100 speakers in two weeks time ahead of our April 7-8th event. You’ll see some names you recognize from the Northwest congressional delegation there – as well as some national figures that you often see in the news.
We’d love to have you register to be with us, if you can make it. So, we created a discount code that will lower the price of the regular registration back down to our Early Bird rates – but it’s only good this week, and we’re only sharing it with our Washington State readers. We hope to have you with us at this first federal conference!
