Health Reform Principles
Recently, there has been increased attention directed at the various limitations and problems of the nation's health care system, and the need for changes to the nation's health care system. In response, the members of the Washington State Hospital Association (WSHA) created a set of working principles to guide WSHA's participation in the dialogue on health care reform.
