While the race for the presidential nomination remains unclear, the one certainty in Nevada is that medical insurance will be at the top of the agenda on every candidate's agenda for tomorrow's Nevada Caucus.

The Las Vegas stop was historically of little significance in the overall picture - previously much farther along in the Caucus schedule, but was moved up to January specifically for the state to have more of a voice in the process.

As reported in the New York Times (Jan 17, 2008), for Nevadans, health insurance is the number one topic on the minds of voters. There is an above-average percentage of uninsured people in Nevada, and the state has its own unique problems when it comes to finding doctors and even when you are eligible, in filing the necessary paperwork.

For Utah, which has its Caucus on February 5, (along with 21 other states), there had been talk of a mandate to provide health insurance to all, but lawmakers there have done an about-turn. They've scrapped any such ideas and instead will be trying to get the residents themselves to obtain their own private health insurance. (The Salt Lake Tribune Jan 17, 2008)

If ever there was such a thing as a political hot potato, it would seem health insurance would be it. Need more information? Visit Nevada Health Insurance and Utah Health Insurance.
