Nevada lawmakers debate public health care option proposal
By SAM METZMay 5, 2021 GMT
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) Lobbyists representing doctors and hospitals clashed with affordable health care advocates on Tuesday in the Nevada Legislature’s first hearing on a proposal to create state-run health insurance plans that could compete with private insurance companies on the state’s health insurance exchange.
Nevada is one of many states that is considering some form of what’s called a “public option” to expand access and make health care more affordable. Washington passed a public option proposal in 2019 and Connecticut and Oregon are also considering similar proposals.
