Washington Basic was created back in 1987 and started out as a pilot program to provide access to affordable health insurance for Washington residents with lower incomes. The establishment was made permanent in 1993.
Washington Basic is a state sponsored program which assists Washington residents who are eligible for the program through subsidies from the state. Everyone does participate financially. It is considered a health insurance program rather than an entitlement. They have a partnership with the private sector of health insurance and they use a market based, non regulatory approach which makes it a unique program. All of the health plans offer the same basic benefits, but the monthly rates, providers and smaller details of the plan may vary from policy to policy.
They type of coverage you will receive will depend on many factors including the size of your household, the plan you choose, your age as well as your income level. It's important to ensure you choose a plan that best suits the needs of you and your family.
