Nevada State Treasurer Zach Conine Champions Legislation to Create Bonds for Each Birth Covered by Medicaid

Idea Category: Child Care, Funding

Nevada State Treasurer Zach Conine is championing legislation to create a $3,200 bond for each birth covered by Medicaid in Nevada, totaling about 13,000 babies, or 42% of births, per year. He estimates that the bonds would grow to between $10,000 and $13,000 over 18 years, and recipients would be able to use the money  to pay for school, start a business, or purchase a home. Conine emphasizes that the baby bond effort would save Nevada money in the long run as fewer people would need to rely on state assistance.
