For more than 30 years, the federal government has provided medical care in Nevada, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico for residents affected by the radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons tests at the Nevada Test Site from the 1950s and '60s.
That medical care also went out to those who were part of uranium mining throughout those states.
Benefits began with an act of Congress in the 1990s. But they're set to expire, leaving many to wonder how to pay for that care.
Guest: Dr. Laura Shaw, associate professor of family and community medicine, Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV, and principal investigator, Nevada RESEP
