What's FTAC?

Washington State seeks to establish a universal health care system for all residents, where people have access to affordable, high-quality health care. Senate Bill 5399 passed during the 2021 legislative session, creating a Universal Health Care Commission (UHCC) to aid in this effort. The goals of FTAC are to support the UHCC and to provide guidance and options for the UHCC’s development of a universal health care system, supported by unified financing in Washington State.
