Starting this fall, Tukwila residents will have a new way to find, compare and enroll in affordable health insurance coverage. It's called Washington Healthplanfinder. Enrollment begins on Oct. 1, 2013 for coverage that begins Jan. 1, 2014. King County has made it a countywide priority to ensure all residents who are newly eligible for health coverage are enrolled. Opportunities to insure residents are through: • Medicaid, which will expand by increasing the income eligibility to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). This increase will allow about 80,000 people in King County, who are currently uninsured, to become eligible for Medicaid. • Our state's Health Benefit Exchange, called Washington Healthplan finder, which will give consumers and small businesses a new way to find, compare and enroll in affordable health insurance. Subsidized premiums and tax credits will be available to the approximately 100,000 King County residents with incomes 139 % -400% of poverty.

Health insurance access in King County Coverage is Here King County: Our best opportunity to address health inequity Wide disparities exist in King County related to place, race /ethnicity, education and income. In fact, King County has some of the greatest disparities in the U.S. in a number of determinants of health, including health coverage. Lack of health insurance is much more common in some communities. For example, 30% of residents in SeaTac are uninsured, while only 2% of residents in Mercer Island are uninsured.
