As an expert in healthcare policy and politics, I have closely followed the efforts of politicians in Clark County, Nevada to address the pressing issues of healthcare and access to affordable insurance. As the largest county in Nevada, Clark County is home to over 2.3 million residents and is a hub for tourism, entertainment, and business. With such a diverse population, it is no surprise that healthcare and access to affordable insurance are major concerns for politicians in this region. The current state of healthcare in Clark County is complex and often controversial, with statistics showing that 11.5% of residents were uninsured as of 2019, higher than the national average.
Additionally, the county has a higher percentage of residents living below the poverty line compared to the rest of the state.
