Question 1 on the 2022 Nevada ballot was a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would have required the state to establish a universal health care system. The measure was ultimately rejected in the general election.
If passed, the amendment would have required the state to provide health care coverage to all residents, regardless of income or employment status. The system would have been funded through a combination of state taxes and federal matching funds. According to proponents of the measure, it would have ensured access to quality health care for all Nevadans and reduced the state’s overall health care costs. Opponents argued that it would have been too expensive and would have led to lower quality of care.
