Retirees enrolled in Nevada's cash-strapped state worker health insurance program are set to see potentially sizable premium increases starting in July.

The exact size of the increase taking effect in July is not yet known, but if it had been in effect this year, retirees enrolled in the two most popular plans would see monthly increases ranging from $34 to $172. Active employees enrolled in these plans would have seen changes ranging from a decrease of about $13 to an increase of about $57.

Active employees will also likely experience premium hikes if their plan includes a spouse or their family. Active workers who are the only members of their plan will likely see modest premium decreases.

Seeing the ads for Ms. Thompson against Mr. Flippo, I think Thompson missed a golden opportunity for an entire ad campaign welcoming Flippo to Northern Nevada.

Imagine filming spots in Middlegate, Jarbidge, Gerlach, Orvada Lovelock, or any number of small Nevada communities, each opening with, “Hey, welcome to Lovelock!” followed by a slightly tongue-in-cheek explanation of where it is and how to get there.

You could do this in a million places across Northern Nevada, and I think it would be pretty damn funny. It might even have caught on as a clever way to make the point that Flippo isn't from Northern Nevada, without having to beat people over the head with it.

Especially asking my fellow veterans in CD2. TIA.
