Dear Friends: These are historic and exciting times. President Obama has now signed transformational national health care reform into law. Although many important reforms will happen this year, the most important changes will be implemented in 2014. For the first time in our nation's history, quality and affordable health insurance will be available for every citizen in our country. In my role as Insurance Commissioner, I am working diligently to make sure that we are prepared to implement these reforms here in Washington State. I urge you to visit my official website at www.insurance.wa.gov to stay up to date on those efforts as well as the other work of my office. Sincerely, Mike Kreidler Insurance Commissioner
