Statement by Senate President Pam Jochum, Chair of the subcommittee on SF 71, Medicaid Expansion –
“Governor Branstad’s plan would provide second-class health care to tens of thousands of working Iowans.
“Governor Branstad’s proposal provides fewer health care services to fewer Iowans at a higher cost to Iowa taxpayers.
“The Iowa Senate’s plan expands access to affordable health care to 150,000 Iowans at no cost to Iowa taxpayers for the first three years.”
