Who is uninsured in Nevada
366,864 people under 65 in Nevada have no health coverage — 13.7% of the under-65 population, the 4th highest uninsured rate of any state. 197,559 (54%) earn inside the premium tax credit range.
103,262 uninsured Nevada residents (28% of the total) earn under $22,025. Nevada expanded Medicaid, so that group mostly qualifies for it instead — and it enrolls year-round.
Where Nevada residents enroll, and by when
Nevada does not use HealthCare.gov. It runs Nevada Health Link at nevadahealthlink.com, and sets its own enrollment dates — which are not always the federal ones. Applying at HealthCare.gov will redirect you.
Open Enrollment for Nevada: November 1, 2026 to January 15, 2027.
Checked 2026-09-01. 2027 dates moved nationally after a court ruling — what changed and why.
