Titus On Extension Of Key Provisions That Nevadans Count On During These Tough Economic Times

Statement

Date: March 17, 2010
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Senior Citizens Health and Health Care

Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevada's Third District released the following statement today on House passed extensions of unemployment benefits, COBRA assistance, and Medicare payment rates.

"The extension of these key provisions is good news for many folks in Southern Nevada who are struggling during these tough economic times. As we work to create jobs in Nevada that will put people back to work, extending unemployment benefits and health care assistance through COBRA is critical as people fight every day just to keep body and soul together. Extending these benefits for some families may be the difference between making or missing the next mortgage payment, and preventing drastic cuts to Medicare payments will ensure that seniors will continue to have access to the doctor they trust."
