SB232 extends Medicaid coverage to include postpartum care services for up to 12 months.
The Assembly passed SB232 on June 3, 2023, by a vote of 41 to 1. We have assigned minuses to the yeas because neither health care nor social welfare is the legitimate object of government. Medicaid, as with many other ‘entitlement programs,’ discriminatorily and unjustly provides “eligible” low-income persons, who have little or no tax liability, with government “benefits” (i.e., funds) at the expense of other hard-working citizens. Nevada must reject the use of taxpayer money for this ever-expanding and unsustainable Federal-State program that is not authorized under Article 1, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution.
