*** MEDIA ADVISORY FOR WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9 AT 2 PM PT // 5 PM ET ***
Las Vegas, Nevada – On Wednesday, October 9 at 2 PM PT // 5 PM ET, Congressman Steven Horsford will host a roundtable discussion with Dr. Christina Madison, Nevada Health Link Program Director Rosa Alejandre, and Cancer Survivor Kelly Despain, on the need to lower health care costs for Americans. Rep. Horsford has fought tirelessly to protect and expand health care benefits for Nevadans, and recently introduced the Dependent Income Exclusion Act of 2024, which will make health insurance more affordable and accessible for families with dependents who are working part-time, enrolled in job training programs or attending school. A record 21.3 million people nationwide signed up for coverage under ACA marketplaces in 2023, including 96,379 Nevadans.
In addition to the Dependent Income Exclusion Act of 2024, Rep. Horsford has worked to lower health care costs. By passing the Inflation Reduction Act, Horsford and other Democrats in Congress provided relief to those who purchase insurance on their own, capped the monthly cost of insulin, and gave Medicare the power to negotiate drug prices. Now over 60,000 seniors on Medicare are paying less for life-saving medications.
