GOP governor fully implements ACA in Nevada. [View all]
In a Republican party thats gone all out against Obamacare, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval went all in.
Sandoval is the only Republican governor whose state is both running its own health insurance exchange this year and expanding its Medicaid program under the health law. Hes arguably doing more to put the Democrats signature law into place than any other Republican.
But in fully implementing Obamacare, Sandoval faces a double-edged sword: Hes helping bring health care coverage to a state with the second highest uninsured rate in the country, while he may be hurting his national ambitions because hes not actively blocking the presidents law.
Sandoval has always maintained that he dislikes the health law and hed like to see it repealed. But as long as its the law of the land, he says it is his job to make it work for the people of his state.
