Why has health insurance become more affordable while the price of everything else is rising? The American Rescue Plan Act, passed by the U.S. Congress in 2021, delivered deep discounts for a wide range of Nevadans. These savings are available to more Nevadans than ever before.
Nevada Health Link is the one place Nevadans can find these reduced health insurance premiums. The state-based health exchange automatically applies the premium tax credits offered to consumers under the legislation, reducing monthly health insurance premiums significantly.
To give you an idea of the savings awaiting Nevadans during open enrollment, here are the savings by county Nevadans saw once the American Rescue Plan Act was passed.
- Eureka County residents averaged $321.92 per month in savings per enrollee under the American Rescue Plan. That equals yearly savings of $3,863.04.
- Lander County’s average savings were over $200 per month or more than $2,400 per year.
- Multiple Nevada counties averaged over $100 per month in savings, or more than $1,200 per year.
- The most populous counties in the state, Clark and Washoe County, averaged savings of over $65 and $55 per month per enrollee respectively.
