14,000 WA residents expected to lose Medicaid Oct. 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Thursday, Oct. 1, about 14,000 Washington state residents will no longer be eligible for Medicaid, or Apple Health. That’s due to a federal law known as HR1 — or, sometimes, the Big Beautiful Bill. They’re refugees, humanitarian asylees, survivors of human trafficking — most lawful immigrants who don’t have a green card. Ryan Moran, director of the Washington State Health Care Authority, said the eligibility changes won’t just impact the individuals who are losing their health coverage. “ Wha
Seasonal vaccines are here, including a nasal spray you can get in the mail (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s vaccine season — get them before Halloween, experts say — and there’s a lot to sort through, including an at-home option for the flu vaccine. This is the second flu season that the FluMist nasal spray will be available by mail. It’s a weakened form of the virus that replicates in your nose, and it’s not for everyone. People who are over 50, pregnant, or who live with someone who’s immunocompromised can’t get it. It’s also not for babies and toddlers; it can cause too much congestion. “ Its
UW Medicine brings cervical cancer self-screening to at-risk women (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Seattle doctor says a new self-screening test could help prevent deaths from cervical cancer, a disease that kills more than 4,000 women a year in the U.S. “It’s unacceptable that we have this very preventable cancer,” said Dr. Elizabeth Swisher, a gynecological oncologist at UW Medicine. “ We know the cause is HPV — human papillomavirus — and we have the tools to screen, detect, and prevent it.” Historically, women have had to get invasive Pap smears to be screened for cervical cancer.

Read excerpt
Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson signed an executive order Thursday to try to help hundreds of thousands of Washington state residents who are at risk of losing their Medicaid health insurance. That’s because of a new federal law called H.R. 1, which was signed into law in July 2025. The law includes new work requirements for Medicaid recipients, which go into effect in 2027. To keep their Medicaid health insurance, adults who are not yet 65 and don’t have dependent children younger than 13 will hav
San Juan Islands residents brave ferry lines, medevacs to get to the doctor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bonnie Oak Boesky has lived in the San Juan Islands for more than 40 years, since she was in her early 20s. She raised her four children there. “It's like a chance to live in paradise for most of your life,” she said. But the idyllic surroundings come at a cost, which became apparent when Boesky’s twins were small children and had both asthma and severe allergies. Getting health care in the San Juan Islands can be tough for residents. There’s a body of water between them and any hospital or spec
