National Taxpayers Union et al. v. Lombardo et al.

Why this Matters:

Plaintiff alleges that legislation establishing a state public health insurance option is unconstitutional under several provisions of the Nevada Constitution. Public options can serve as an important tool to help drive down health care costs, improve quality of care, and expand access to health coverage.

Potential Impact:

The inability to establish a robust public option could jeopardize efforts to reduce health care costs for millions of consumers while improving access to high quality care.
