the state of Washington for a standard benefit package with reasonable
payment levels, and supports the development of a system of outreach by
the state and advocacy groups that assures that all children have coverage
and stresses the need to access needed health services. (Res C-3, A-99;

The WSMA advocates for legislation that will provide health care benefits,
including well-child, developmental and oral health care for all children
