A 13 month old who died July 12 had care from two foster homes and University Hospitals in Iowa City. Foster home numbers rose to 1,874 in the latest fiscal year, driven by better recruiting, insurer reinstatement, and higher stipends now at 30 to 60 dollars per level with Medicaid covering doctor visits and hospital trips.
