Iowa faces Medicaid and SNAP cuts under new bill
The measure would impose work requirements on able bodied adults and cut health and food aid, shifting costs to states. CBO projects fewer people would receive Medicaid and SNAP, with higher deficits overall. Democrats warn of higher prices, reduced access, and harm to rural hospitals and vulnerable Iowans. The plan also raises border funding and extends tax cuts, with mixed signals from lawmakers including Rep Miller-Meeks and Hinson.
