ax Baucus revealed his updated health insurance reform proposal with major improvements for Nevada. The state will receive a full 100 percent match for those added pursuant to the Medicaid expansions for five years. Furthermore, federal funding for Medicaid increases by 30 percent while Nevada will only have to increase funding 1.6 by percent.
“I thank Chairman Baucus for recognizing the unique challenges that we face in Nevada and working with me to address them,” Reid said. “I promised the people of Nevada that I wouldn’t support any health insurance reform proposal that wasn’t good for our state and I meant it. This latest proposal is a major improvement to the chairman’s original proposal.”
