An Ernst & Whitney audit of the Iowa Comprehensive Health Association shows the fund paid at least 1.3 million more in claims than premiums in its first 18 months and could lose 8.7 million more this year. The report projects possible losses up to 10.4 million by 1990, with a worst case. The program, run by Mutual of Omaha, covers about 1000 medically uninsured Iowans with high health needs and has faced calls for reform.
