Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network, Northwest Health Law Advocates, El Centro de la Raza & ACLU Washington

In 2018, the undocumented immigrant population in Washington State (WA) was an estimated 240,000 people, or approximately 5.2% of the total WA population. Undocumented individuals have limited access to health insurance options due to eligibility restrictions, leading to high uninsured rates compared to their documented counterparts. As of 2018, an estimated 46% of undocumented individuals were uninsured in WA, compared to just 7% uninsured in the overall population in WA.
