Washington Healthcare Insurance Reform Benefits

Healthcare Insurance Benefits For the State of Washington

• Washington state itself will see benefits as their budget for healthcare would diminish. Employee healthcare premiums will decrease.
  
  
• Because so many uninsured people will be eligible for healthcare insurance, fewer uncompensated care costs will affect Washington state employees' health insurance premiums.
  
  
• Reinsurance for early retirees would mean employees would enjoy an annual $1200 healthcare premium cut per family.
  
  
• Uncompensated care, which is presently $663 million annually in Washington would be reduced as more and more people become eligible for healthcare coverage in Washington.
