Village Community Faces Major Funding Cut Under New Tiered Medicaid Rates
The Village Community in Johnson County warns that the new tiered home and community based services rates cut funding for 14 members, many autistic, from $150 to as low as $71.15 per day. Executive director Ann Brownsberger criticizes the rushed rule change and seeks an exemption beyond June. Local provider concerns focus on fair reflection of care quality in reimbursements.

Iowa GOP tax plan seeks broad relief while weighing federal deductibility
Republican leaders push a tax relief package in Iowa that aims to simplify the system and extend benefits to individuals and small business. The plan weighs state tax cuts against the loss of federal deductibility and includes a new 25 percent deduction for small business quarters and broad tax on digital services starting 2019. Senate proposals go further with corporate cuts and sunset credits, while critics warn the plan may outpace the budget without balancing the books.
