The Governor is again urging Nevada’s congressional delegation to support funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program. He says without some funds Nevada runs out of federal funding December 15th. The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services has received approval from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services on its request for redistribution funding for December and tentative approval for January. Governor Sandoval says 40,000 Nevada children depend on CHIP for medical insurance, and while he’s grateful for the redistribution funding, the state needs a permanent fix.
