STATEMENT FROM KEN SAGAR, PRESIDENT OF THE IOWA FEDERATION OF LABOR, AFL-CIO:
“This Governor has had over nine months to come up with an alternative to Medicaid expansion, and unfortunately the best thing he can come up with is tired old ideas. This plan leaves tens of thousands of Iowans out of health insurance coverage, and would even drop enrollees if they miss one co-payment. The bottom line is still this: compared to Medicaid expansion, this plan will cost Iowa more and cover less people. We look forward to a public hearing that will show the public just how wrong this plan is.”
