Veterans and Health Care
Editor’s Desk (02-17-2021) with Connie McMullen:
Welcome back everyone, I’m Connie McMullen and this is Editor’s Desk.
Segment 1) Janel Davis, from the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange or Nevada Health Link.
Nevada Health Link is Nevada’s version of the Affordable Care Act (or Obama Care). By Executive Order, President Biden created a Special Open Enrollment Period which began February 15th through May 15, 2021. The goal is to get those who are unemployed and may have lost their health insurance due to the COVID-19 virus to obtain health care. Open Enrollment will bring in Medicaid enrollees, people who lost their employer insurance, and health care for gig workers.
Segment 2) Kat Miller, Director of the Nevada Department of Veterans Services.
The Nevada Legislature is back in session, and many bills sponsored concern our veterans. This week we heard about Assembly Bill 22, a bill to establish and maintain a transition assistance program for veterans and servicemen, and servicewomen. Another bill is Assembly Bill 76, which will provide Adult Day Health Care for aging veterans whose families may need respite, and care during the day for loved ones living with memory issues.
Currently, there is no Adult Day Health Care program in Nevada that serves only veterans, that understands veterans’ needs and the senior culture.
Both bills will go a long way in helping our Nevada veterans find resources, assistance with the house, jobs, and health care.
The post Veterans and Health Care first appeared on Senior Spectrum Newspaper.
