How many here a premium tax credit would reach

1,577 uninsured people in Washington County earn inside the premium tax credit range — 46% of the county's uninsured. That is near the 51% national median. Within that band, only 5.9% are uninsured, so the credit is reaching most of the people it was built for here.

Comparatively few people go uncovered

3.7% of Washington County's 92,586 under-65 residents have no health coverage — 3,443 people. That is below the Rhode Island rate of 5.3%, and puts Washington County in the bottom quarter of the 3,143 counties measured nationally (3,130th).

Who falls under the Medicaid line

869 of Washington County's uninsured — 25%, below the 31% typical of counties nationally — earn under $22,025 a year, which in Rhode Island is Medicaid territory rather than marketplace territory.

The years before Medicare

710 people aged 50 to 64 in Washington County have no coverage, a rate of 2.6% — close to the 3.7% across all under-65 residents here. Age-rated premiums make this the most expensive group to cover before Medicare.
