Washington state celebrates Veterans Day
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WAGOV/2022/11/6711365/dva-vets-day-poster_original.jpg>
The Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs 2022 Veterans Day poster.
Friday, Nov. 3, is Veterans Day and the 104th anniversary of Armistice Day concluding World War I. The United States Congress officially recognized the holiday in June 1926, proclaiming,
“It is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace.”
Cities and towns across Washington state celebrate the holiday with parades and events to honor veterans. The City of Auburn hosted its annual Veterans Day Parade <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1N

“No matter how or where you celebrate the holiday, I hope you join me in taking a moment to honor our nation’s veterans and the many thousands of Washingtonians who served,” said Gov.
Jay Inslee. “And to those veterans: thank you. Thank you for your patriotism and sense of duty. It’s your day.”

Efficient electric heat pumps become the state standard
New homes and apartment buildings built in Washington state must be equipped with electric heat pumps beginning in July. The state Building Code Council voted in favor of the requirement

to health issues in gas-burning homes and creating greenhouse gases that accelerate global warming.
Electric heat pumps are efficient, and many units can both heat and cool living spaces. Washington state enjoys some of America’s cheapest electricity; Seattle rates are 29% below the
national average. In addition to low monthly costs, electric heat pumps often require minimal maintenance. Electric heat is also safer than gas heat – gas furnaces in disrepair can
produce lethal, odorless carbon monoxide <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDYsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjExMTIuNjY1NzM4MTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwc

.
“Electric heat is the way to go. Here in Washington state, we have a clean and reliable grid, and some of the cheapest power in the country,” said Gov. Jay Inslee. “New housing units
will benefit from safe, efficient heating and I’m sure tenants will enjoy low monthly bills.”

State health care exchange begins open enrollment, offers new subsidies
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WAGOV/2022/11/6711382/wahealthplanfinder_original.jpg>
Lower health care premiums are calling – WA Healthplanfinder open enrollment has begun, and Washingtonians are invited to select from a variety of low-cost health insurance plans.
The Washington Healthplanfinder <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDcsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjExMTIuNjY1NzM4MTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5

open enrollment period began Nov. 1, allowing Washingtonians to select among low-cost health plans to insure themselves and their loved ones. Many low-income individuals and families
may purchase health coverage for less than $10 per month thanks to new state subsidies.
More than 40% of Washingtonians who purchase insurance through WA Healthplanfinder are eligible for the new Cascade Care Savings program, available to individuals and families making
250% or less of the federal poverty level. Individuals making $32,000 or less, or families of four making $66,250 or less <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDgsInVy

“I do not believe health care is a privilege in the 21st Century – health care is a right,” said Inslee. “I was proud to sign the nation’s first public option plan into law, and I’m
proud that we’ve advanced our cause since by making health coverage even more attainable for working families.”
The Washington Healthplanfinder open enrollment period concludes Jan. 15, 2023.

Native & Strong suicide prevention lifeline to launch next week
Washington state launched a statewide 9-8-8 crisis line earlier this year, meaning help is now just three digits away for any Washingtonian in crisis. Additional culturally-specific
options are now coming online to support at-risk groups.

first such lifeline in the nation. Historical trauma, disproportionate poverty, and other factors contribute to an increased risk of suicide for Native populations. Native and Strong
Lifeline operators are all tribal members or descendants, and they receive specialized training to help American Indian and Alaska Native people through crisis.
