Nevada’s Governor Vetoes ‘Medicaid for All’ Insurance Plan
“Nevada’s Republican governor vetoed a bill late Friday that would have created the nation’s first ‘Medicaid for all’ insurance offering, a plan that drew widespread attention as states brace for changes in the federal Affordable Care Act. The bill would have allowed any state resident to buy into Medicaid, the federal-state program for people with low incomes or disabilities. The idea, which its Democratic sponsor said would have created a guaranteed health coverage option that was affordable, has drawn the interest of other liberal-leaning states as congress works to repeal major portions of the Affordable Care Act, including the law’s Medicaid expansion.”
