Co-op to close; thousands in Nev. without insurance
By Jackie Valley, Las Vegas Sun
The Nevada Health Co-Op, a consumer-owned and operated health plan created under the Affordable Care Act, is going out of business because of high costs, state officials announced Wednesday.
Consumers insured by the co-op will be covered through Dec. 31, said Janel Davis, spokeswoman for the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange. The Board of Directors for the co-op, which received $65.9 million worth of solvency loans from the federal government, voted to cease operations effective Jan. 1.
The co-op is one of five insurance carriers offered through the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange, which was established by the Affordable Care Act. Participants in the Nevada Health Co-Op were asked to choose other insurance providers when an open enrollment period beings in November.

Good job, Democrats.
(Yeah, it’s ALL on them. They rammed it through without a single Republican vote.)
The original article includes some well thought out comments in its comment section. Here at LTN it’s business as usual (with all due respect, as you well know Kae).
Some well thought out comments are to keep the federal government OUT of the health care business and keep liberals out of power and then open up the insurance boundaries and open the market to all states. Then get the illegals out of the hospitals and out of the country and have their anchor babies go home with them so that our health care, schools, welfare, and prisons and jobs can recover.
