Iowa senator vows Medicaid clash with GOP over expansion
State Sen. Jack Hatch, Democrat from Des Moines, plans to pressure Republicans and Gov Branstad to expand Medicaid under the federal health care law. The GOP opposes the plan citing a cost of 237 million over eight years for 182000 newly insured, with federal funding tapering to 90 percent by year eight. Branstad opposes expansion, favoring state based efforts and health initiatives, while House leaders say any expansion needs Branstad's support.
