Nevada Watch

About a week after the largest-ever open enrollment day for Affordable Care Act coverage, federal health officials are reporting a year-to-year enrollment increase, with states including Nevada posting an uptick.

Firing a political shot across the bow of the incoming Trump administration, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Tuesday released new state data detailing how the Affordable Care Act has resulted in “substantial improvements in health care for all Americans.”

Las Vegas resident Connie Densmore, a financial adviser and tax preparer, is used to dealing with technical terms and jargon.

Millions of low-income Americans on Medicaid could lose their health coverage if President-elect Donald Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress follow through on GOP proposals to cut spending in the state-federal insurance program.

Most of Nevada’s hospitals are struggling to make the grade when it comes to patient safety, according to a new report by a national health-care watchdog that placed the state near the bottom of its rankings.

Millions of Americans are facing double digit increases in their health premiums as open enrollment begins on state health exchanges.

Open enrollment for 2017 health insurance plans through Nevada’s Affordable Care Act exchange begins Nov. 1.

The number of people obtaining coverage through Nevada’s health insurance exchange has dropped 15.7 percent in the last year, officials said today.

A veteran state employee has been named head of Nevada’s 88,000-member health insurance exchange.

State health insurance exchanges created under the new health care law are in turmoil. By contrast, the employer market — where the majority of Americans still get their coverage — seems like a bastion of stability.
