"Nevada, with little fanfare or notice, is inching toward a massive health insurance expansion — one that would give the state’s 2.8 million residents access to a public health insurance option. The Nevada legislature passed a bill Friday that would allow anyone to buy into Medicaid, the public program that covers low-income Americans. It would be the first state to open the government-run program to all residents, regardless of their income or health status."Nevada Governor Sandoval, a moderate Republican, who championed and oversaw the largest tax increase in Nevada's history (raising taxes is what moderate Republicans do), will have to decide by Friday, June 16th, if he will fix Obamacare and Medicaid by allowing all Nevadan residents (legal and illegal) to sign up for Medicaid! By allowing this bill to become law, the next Kaiser study will have Nevada moving from sixth in the nation of Medicaid births to first! Progress!
