Walla Walla County residents could lose health insurance coverage as Affordable Care Act subsidies expire at the end of 2025, according to local officials. The Walla Walla County Health Department reported that approximately 12,000 residents currently benefit from ACA subsidies that help reduce monthly insurance premiums. Without these subsidies, many could face significantly higher costs or lose coverage entirely. State and local officials are urging residents to review their insurance options before December 31, 2025, to avoid gaps in coverage. The health department is hosting free enrollment assistance sessions at the Walla Walla Community Center on July 25 and August 15.
