We tried so hard to avoid that.  It would've been $800 for the whole family. Washington State's Basic Health program has a waiting list of 20,000 people and you can't even apply right now. They're going to send me a letter when I can apply and you can only get on as other people get off. Not likely my number will come up anytime soon. |
This is an all to common problem. As I posted earlier, I pay $269.00 per month for my entire family.......wouldn't be great if Washington state residents could purchase insurance from any state that had the best rate?
