Inside Olympia — Health Insurance, State of the State Economy

It’s enrollment time at the state’s health insurance marketplace, WAHealthPlanFinder.org. What plans are available, and what’s the cost? We talk with Jim Crawford, interim chief executive officer for the Washington Health Benefit Exchange. Plus, the economy is giving mixed signals: state revenues continue to climb, but there are cautionary signals — is a recession on the horizon? We discuss the latest state revenue forecast, and the state of the state economy, with Steve Lerch, executive director of the Washington State Economic and Revenue Forecast Council.
