What happened
Nevada regulators approved average rate increases of 17% for 2027 coverage through Nevada Health Link, the state-based Affordable Care Act marketplace. This marks the second consecutive year of double-digit rate increases for individuals securing insurance through the marketplace. Additionally, efforts to extend existing premium discounts were blocked by Republicans.

Why it matters
The rate hikes affect over 100,000 Nevadans who use the marketplace. The blocking of discount extensions means that fewer consumers receive federal tax credits, which could increase out-of-pocket premium costs for enrolled consumers.
New bill provisions are straining health care funding in Nevada.
