In 2013, Nevada expanded Medicaid eligibility, a move promoted by the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA or ObamaCare) to improve health care to people allegedly then under-served by our health care systems.

In return, the federal government fully funded Nevada’s increased costs through 2016.  However, the federal reimbursements slowly decline beginning this year.  With the over-spending problems faced by the federal government, there is serious question whether reimbursements will continue after 2020, and if so at what level.
