A new report shows health insurance premiums for Nevada families are going up more than twice as fast as their earnings.
The report says that between 2000 and 2007, median earnings in Nevada rose 21.4 percent, from $25,411 to $30,859. During the same period, health care premiums for families rose by 54.6 percent, from $6,688 to $10,341.
The report also says that while Nevadans are paying more for health care, the amount of coverage is decreasing.
