health care is one of the top kitchen table issues in nevada. i cannot even begin to count the number of nevadans who have shared how they would be affected by the court striking down protections in our health care system. each day, these individuals tell me what it means not having to fear being denied coverage based on a pre-existing condition. nevadans alonen live with a pre-existing condition and nationwide, roughly one third of all americans live with a pre-existing condition. all know what is at stake if these individuals are denied access to care. in nevada, and across our country, we continue to face a shortage of physicians, particularly in primary care. we need to come together and work to help communities in rural areas gain greater access to health care services including through telehealth. plenty of ways that congress can work in a bipartisan way to improve the affordable care act. including supporting legislation to bring down skyrocketing drug costs and improving access to telemedicine in our rural and underserved communities. bu
