Know someone who is without health insurance? Even if you work, low or no-cost health insurance is available to Washington State residents. Excellent coverage exists for:
- Children up to age 19
- Working families not covered by employer benefits
- Teens no longer in parents' household
- Self-employed adults
- Young adults or college students
- Adults without children in household
- Pregnant women
Uninsured Americans are more likely to receive too little medical care and, when needed, care is received too late. Studies show that uninsured people tend to be less healthy and die earlier than insured.
Health insurance helps you stay healthy. Having health coverage means you have a regular place for care "a medical home." With a medical home you receive health screenings, preventive care, and benefit from the early detection and treatment of medical problems. Also, with insurance you don't have to worry about or face burdensome medical bills.
