Iowa seeks 40 percent Medicaid funding boost
DES MOINES AP The Iowa Department of Social Services will request a 40 percent Medicaid funding rise for the next fiscal year to cover rising caseloads and rapid spending. An immediate infusion of 10 to 14 million is also sought this year as existing funds dwindle from swelling demand, with potential cuts including hospitalization limits and removal of dental eye care and certain therapies. Legislative and regent debates unfold over university funding and wage hikes, with regents seeking a 184.28 million appropriation for 1976-77, amid inflation concerns and calls to curb spending growth.
