Washington Health Facts
About 1 in 11 Washingtonians was uninsured in 2006
The Washington State Population Survey indicates that 9.3 percent of the population was uninsured in 2006, down from 9.9 percent in 2004. However, the change in percentage terms is not statistically significant. The latest estimates show that those most likely to be uninsured were those with family incomes under 200 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) and working aged adults. Children, the elderly, and those with incomes at or above 300 percent of FPL were the least likely to be uninsured. For more information see The Uninsured Population in Washington State (pdf).
