Congresswoman’s bipartisan bill helps families, children

As a physician in Clark County I saw the rough road for parents of young children with complicated health care needs. Poverty makes this more difficult and increases the barriers to access. Access determines whether a child gets care. Until recently, access has been impossible on a regular basis in Southwest Washington because parents on Medicaid could not cross state lines and had to travel to Seattle for appointments. This fractured care, and parents occasionally worked with 30 different providers. Health care by committee does not work.
