A five news organizations review shows state efforts to help uninsured Iowans fall short despite programs like IowaCare. Geographic limits and high costs leave many, including former schoolworker Cynthia Houston, outside eligible help shaping a patchwork system.
IowaWatch.org and five Iowa newspapers collaborated to examine health care access for uninsured residents. The project reviewed over two dozen documents and interviewed about 24 people, with IowaWatch.org operating as a nonprofit online news site under the Iowa Center for Public Affairs Journalism.
Iowa residents on government programs rely on free clinics for basic care when IowaCare coverage is limited. Elizabeth Busler, 35, needs five insulin injections daily and travels 80 miles round trip for meds not covered by IowaCare, while her partner Robert Purvine holds Medicaid with weekly injections. Other Cedar Rapids residents like Andrea Keil use free clinics for immediate care despite IowaCare eligibility.
Washington lawmakers return after a five week recess to a three day workweek with travel days on Mondays and Fridays. House and Senate salaries remain 174000 annually since 2009, while observers say activity and outcomes matter more to the public than rigid schedules.
