Democrats urge end to privately managed Medicaid in Iowa
Minority Democrats in Iowa call on Gov. Reynolds and GOP leaders to return Medicaid to state management. In a letter signed by 20 Senate and 40 House Democrats, they warn the privatized system is failing as one of three contractors exits and stress the need for bipartisan action to expand access and protect vulnerable residents. Reynolds defends modernization while noting satisfaction rankings and ongoing transition issues.
