Senator Catherine Cortez Masto cosponsored legislation led by Senators Michael Bennet of Colorado and Tim Kaine of Virginia, to create Medicare-X, a public plan that would offer low-cost health insurance choices and create more competition in the marketplace. The Medicare-X Choice Act would build on the Medicare framework to establish a public insurance plan offered on the individual and small business health exchanges, allowing Americans to choose among the existing private insurance plans or a public one. Cortez-Masto says the Trump Administration’s continued threats to dismantle and disrupt the American health care system is destabilizing Nevada’s health care markets, resulting in fewer health coverage options for Nevadans.
