How Many Jobs Would Be Lost in NV if the ACA was Repealed?

Nevada
Total employment in Nevada would drop by 1.3%
16,332 jobs in Nevada would be lost
This would eliminate 12.5 out of every 1,000 jobs
Nevada would lose $1.3 billion in federal health care dollars
=============

NV legislature is currently in session and there's been a whole lot of "ifs" factored in to the state budget for the next 2 years because of what might / might not happen. Thanks GOP.
