Attorney General and Republican gubernatorial candidate Adam Laxalt has ignored a request by the state’s health insurance exchange director to join a lawsuit over the federal government ending payments to insurance companies.
The Nevada Independent reportsthe director of the exchange, Heather Korbulic, said she never received a response to the request after reaching out to the attorney general.
Nevada did not join the group of 18 states including California, New York and Rhode Island that sued after President Donald Trump announced that the federal government would stop the payments to insurance companies. At the time, Governor Brian Sandoval called the decision “devastating.”
