In this second of two podcasts, join host Brenda Gazzar and Whole Washington founder and operations director Georgia Davenport, to get Whole Washington's take on how to get around legislative inaction using the ballot initiative process. Why could winning single payer in Washington state "open the floodgates" to expanding improved Medicare to everyone? Plus, learn what you can do to support Whole Washington in this fight!
