This Order is effective immediately, applies to every application not yet acted upon by the Board, and remains in effect until rescinded or superseded by regulation, guidelines adopted under the State Plan for Economic Development, or act of the Legislature.

Section 3 requires emergency grid-service terms to recognize designated essential healthcare services, subject to power stability, availability and energy-cost safeguards. It does not create new healthcare coverage or show a health outcome.

The fact measures residents under 65 without health insurance. Insurance eligibility, enrollment, coverage continuity and premium assistance concern the covered population. Provider payments and covered services alone do not establish a coverage change, and Medicare-only changes mostly concern a different age population. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Carson City, NV— Today, Attorney General Aaron D. Ford announced he has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California challenging a federal rule that once again unlawfully undermines the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and threatens to make health insurance more expensive and less accessible for millions of Americans. The lawsuit, filed by Attorney General Ford alongside a coalition of 21 attorneys general and the governor of Pennsylvania, seeks to block provisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) 2027 Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters, a federal rule that sets standards for health plans offered in 2027 and was opposed by the coalition in a March 2026 comment letter. Among other harmful changes, the rule expands eligibility for catastrophic health insurance plans that are ineligible for premium tax credits; offer only limited coverage; and can leave consumers facing significantly higher out-of-pocket costs than standard ACA plans. The rule also allows catastrophic and bronze plans to exceed ACA limits on maximum annual out-of-pocket costs and attempts to reinstate several provisions that a federal court recently found to be unlawful. The coalition argues these and other provisions unlawfully undermine the ACA’s goal of expanding access to affordable healthcare by increasing costs, reducing enrollment and shifting financial burdens onto consumers, states and heal

Carson City, NV — Today, Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford announced a lawsuit over the Trump administration’s unlawful implementation of new Medicaid work requirements included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Specifically, the lawsuit — which was filed yesterday, June 29 — challenges provisions of an interim final rule published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on June 3, 2026. Medicaid is the nation’s safety net healthcare program for low-income Americans and is jointly funded by states and the federal government, with the federal government providing at least 50% of the cost of services. Attorney General Ford joined 23 other attorneys general and two governors in filing the lawsuit. “The Trump administration is attempting to remove protections for vulnerable Nevadans who rely on Medicaid to ensure their health and safety,” said Attorney General Ford. “This order would strip away vital health care protections and create severe administrative and financial burdens for Nevada. Every time President Trump puts Nevadans at risk, I will fight back.” Congress created exemptions from Medicaid’s work requirements to ensure that people with serious illnesses and disabilities do not lose coverage or face interruptions in care. Despite months of working with states on implementation, CMS surprised states with the interim final rule, “Community Engagement Requirement for Certain Individuals,” which adopte

Special enrollment period for individual market plans(i)In generalA health insurance issuer offering individual health insurance coverage shall establish a special enrollment period under which any individual may enroll in the coverage during a plan year if the individual, during the same plan year, is enrolled in other individual health insurance coverage (referred to in this subparagraph as the initial plan) and—(I)a provider with whom the individual had an in-person or telehealth visit within the preceding 2-year period, and who was listed as an in-network provider under the initial plan during the most recent open enrollment period, becomes an out-of-network provider under the initial plan; or(II)the initial plan implements a negative formulary change with respect to a prescription drug dispensed or administered to the individual within the previous 6-month period, for which the initial plan provided benefits, and for which approval or licensure under section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or section 351 of this Act is still in effect.(ii)Negative formulary changeIn this subparagraph, the term negative formulary change has the meaning given such term in section 423.100 of title 42, Code of Federal Regulations (or successor regulations), except that, for purpo
