With less than 72 hours left to enroll in a health insurance plan through the Affordable Care Act, there’s no time left for anyone who’s been procrastinating or not paying attention.

Do you, or a client/friend/relative/neighbor need health coverage?

It’s easy to get started through the online shopping tool, Washington Healthplanfinderor with the WAPlanfinder mobile app.

And if you have any questions about buying insurance online, or need some advice and help — we have many options.
