Kreidler said Monday that Molina Healthcare of Washington and BridgeSpan Health Co. will offer plans inside the state's health exchange in Klickitat. OLYMPIA – Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler says that two insurers have agreed to offer plans next year in Klickitat County. The county had previously been the only one in the state where no health insurance companies had offered plans for 2018. All rates, health plans, and coverage areas are under review by Kreidler's office and may change before the plans are certified by the Washington Health Benefit Exchange Board on Sept. 14. Open enrollment for the 2018 individual market starts Nov. 1.
Does health insurance coverage really save lives?
How big a difference does having health insurance coverage make? For example, "If you don't have health insurance you're unlikely to get treatment for your diabetes or your depression." In addition to lower overall death rates, the study also cites "other well-established benefits of health insurance: improved self-rated health, financial protection, and reduced likelihood of depression." The bill specifically affects funding for Medicaid, the federal-state health insurance program for low-income Americans. For researchers, the relationship between health insurance and mortality is tricky to study.collected by :Lucy William
