Nevada's Health Exchange Administrators Discussed Dumping Patients

A Las Vegas lawyer who is suing the State Health Exchange says he has documents that prove there are many problems with the state’s ability to get citizens health insurance.

The Las Vegas Review Journal reported attorney Matthew Callister of Callister, Immerman and Associates released documents and emails that he claims show health exchange officials at least discussed secretly dumping all enrollees from its system to start fresh on botched accounts.

Callister filed a class-action suit claiming that two plaintiffs went without health coverage even after paying. He claims thousands of Nevadans may have paid and are still without coverage.

The paperwork he released cannot be used in the suit though. The Nevada Health Exchange enrolled less than 30,000 people.

Republican Governor Brian Sandoval criticized Xerox, the company hired to run the website and phone bank, for not fulfilling its promises.
