Grassley seen less favorably in new Iowa poll
A Hart Research poll for the Constitutional Responsibility Project and the League of Conservation Voters finds 42 percent of Iowans view U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley favorably, 30 percent unfavorably, down from two years ago. The survey, conducted April 22 to 24 with 501 Iowa adults, links ratings to the Merrick Garland nomination controversy and White House pressure. Grassley’s camp dismisses leaks as partisan, noting a Morning Consult poll showing 55 percent favorable.

Guardian struggle highlights guardianship gaps in Medicaid shift
Cindy Smothers, guardian of her adult son Tyler, battles AmeriHealth and other MCOs after Iowa’s Medicaid transition on April 1. She has floated papers, met DHS and Medicaid staff, and lobbied lawmakers to have guardianship data correctly shared so she can access Tyler’s health information and decisions. The case underscores lapses in the new consolidated guardian data system during the managed care rollout.
