Huh... Uhhh. Uhhhh.

100 duck sized horses because I love horses and I would never fight them, they would become my best friends.

Thanks for the question!

During the legislative session, on average I work between 14 and 16 hours a day, 5 days a week. The 18 months in between legislative sessions, the amount of hours varies depending on legislators and how involved they are, but on average you could consider it another full-time job, but we don't get paid for it.

I don't know what states with full-time legislature schedules would look like because they don't have the limitations of the 120 day session like we do.

No, I had not. However, as a firefighter/paramedic I've been a public servant my entire adult life.

Thank you for those stories, I always love to hear about Nevada history and those who have served before me.

We do get together sometimes, but it's become far more business-like and social interactions don't happen nearly as often.

Short answer is yes.

After my bill got national recognition, multiple legislators from different states reached out to me. I haven't been able to follow what every state is proposing, mostly because their legislative sessions are just now beginning. But I will be curious to see what other similar ideas or proposals they come up with in their own legislation.

As for federal legislation, I haven't seen anything directly related to the Nevada Care plan. There has been some conversation lately about Medicare for all but that is fundamentally different from Medicaid.

A proposal did come out of the state of Hawaii that could lower or eliminate some of the barriers for a state Medicaid buy-in program, but as far as I'm aware, it has yet to even get a hearing.
