Nevada's health insurance exchange has signed up a mere 513 people since it went live Oct. 1, less than half a percent of the overall enrollment target set for the state-run online insurance market.
Nevadans have their homework cut out for them to prepare for implementation of federal health care reform and a requirement that everyone has health insurance beginning next year.
The board overseeing Nevada's health insurance exchange approved fees Thursday designed to make the program self-sustaining by 2015 when federal support expires.
The federal government Thursday gave Nevada initial approval to run its own health insurance exchange program as called for under the federal health care reform law.
Gov. Brian Sandoval said Tuesday that he'll support expanding Medicaid eligibility in Nevada as called for under the federal health care law to provide coverage for the state's neediest residents.
A state board approved a $72 million contract Tuesday to implement a health insurance exchange in Nevada under the federal Affordable Care Act, but Gov. Brian Sandoval said the program will need to become self-sustaining if it is to continue.
