Wyoming has not expanded Medicaid and has one of the highest uninsured rates among Western states. The ACA marketplace covers 35,000+ Wyoming residents. Medicare covers 115,000+ Wyomingites. Wyoming's mineral extraction economy — oil, gas, and coal — creates boom-and-bust employment patterns that affect coverage needs significantly.

Buffalo residents in Johnson County have access to plans from Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Ambetter, Cigna, Oscar Health, and Molina Healthcare through the ACA Marketplace and as off-marketplace private plans.

Health insurance premiums in Buffalo depend on your age, plan type, and whether you qualify for ACA subsidies. Many Buffalo residents who qualify for premium tax credits pay $0–$100/month for a Silver plan. Without subsidies, individual premiums typically range from $300–$700/month depending on age and plan tier. A licensed WY agent will calculate your exact subsidy amount for free.
Outside of the ACA Open Enrollment Period (November 1–January 15), you can still get coverage if you have a qualifying life event — such as losing a job, getting married, having a baby, or losing other coverage. This triggers a 60-day Special Enrollment Period. A licensed WY agent can confirm whether you qualify and help you enroll quickly.
