Description
Over 100 organizations and advocates voiced their concerns and urged Washingtonians to vote against Initiative 2124, a measure that would allow people to opt out of the state's long-term care insurance program.

Voters will have the opportunity to make it an option to opt out of paying into the WA Cares Fund, a move opponents said would effectively repeal the program.
