“My worry is what every cancer patient’s worry is”

“What if I’m doing great today and a year from now I’m not. What if I need assistive devices? What if I need additional surgeries? What if I need chemotherapy or radiation? How will I access? Who will take me? How can I do those things if it is just me by myself?”

Julie Sparkman opposes Initiative 2124 because she has come face to face with questions about how she will access long term care. WA Cares is important to her since she knows members of her family are at a higher risk for cancer. Watch the interview with Julie.

“What if I’m not here anymore and it ends up being my grandchild or my great grandchild? WA Cares is my investment in the day that I’m not here to make sure that someone can provide that care.”
