Nevada’s Launching One of the First Public Health Insurance Options
Nevada has launched one of the nation’s first public health insurance options—the Battle Born State Plans—designed to make coverage more affordable and expand access to care. Offered through Nevada Health Link, the plans build on the Affordable Care Act by requiring premium reductions of up to 15% within four years while maintaining essential health benefits and protections for pre-existing conditions.
A new reinsurance program, starting in 2026, will help stabilize premiums and support market sustainability. Together, the initiatives are projected to generate more than $290 million in federal savings by 2029, potentially strengthening Nevada’s health system and improving coverage options for residents statewide.
