Are you choosing to go without health insurance in 2026?

Jessica Fu, The Seattle TimesSeattle Times

Open enrollment for individual health insurance closes on Jan. 15.

Still, many people in Washington remain on the fence about coverage in 2026. Some are deciding between plans. Others — faced with rising costs and the loss of tax credits that keep premiums affordable — are choosing to forgo insurance altogether.

We're reporting on the choice to disenroll. Have you decided to be uninsured in 2026? We'd like to hear about it.

Fill out the form below and a reporter will reach out to interview you. None of the information you share will be used without your permission. Can’t see the form? Click here.
