In Washington State, we call the Medicaid program “Apple Health.” Apple Health provides health care coverage to nearly 2 million residents—adults and children. Washington's uninsured rate has dropped to an historic 5.4 percent, thanks in part to access to Apple Health made possible through the Affordable Care Act.
