Harry’s Health Care “Reform” Press Release

Dear Nevadan,

Nevadans will finally have access to quality, affordable health insurance under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that I am leading toward passage in the U.S. Senate. Nevada has the second highest rate of uninsured in the nation, according to the Associated Press, and businesses are struggling with the costs of providing health care to their employees. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will greatly improve Nevada’s health in the following ways:
  • Three years of full funding for Medicaid;
  • Affordable coverage to 518,000 Nevadans who are uninsured;
  • Premium tax credits available to more than 300,000 Nevadans so they can purchase coverage;
  • Tax credits to 24,000 small businesses in Nevada to make premiums more affordable for their employees;
  • Lower premiums and prescription drug costs for Nevada’s 328,000 Medicare beneficiaries;
  • And it will help relieve Nevada tax payers from the burden of paying for those who don’t have insurance.

This is a good bill that will save lives, save money and save Medicare for Nevadans. If we were to do what some suggest - kill this bill and do nothing – Nevadans would continue to see their premiums skyrocket. I refuse to sit back and do nothing while that happens. Our state needs this bill more than almost any other state, and will benefit tremendously from its passage.

Sincerely,

HARRY REID
U.S. Senator for Nevada
