Des Moines Register: Iowa agrees to give Medicaid management firms 7.5% raise to continue running program
By every measure, Gov. Reynolds' privatization of Medicaid is a failure, team.

Iowa taxpayers are paying hundreds of millions more than promised while tens of thousands of Iowans' services are denied or reduced and providers across the state are being forced to close because of delays and denials in payments from Managed Care Organizations.

And now Gov. Reynolds wants to give those very same MCOs a raise.

Our state needs a leader who will put people first -- and on Day One as governor I'll work to reverse this Medicaid nightmare and ensure Iowans have the care they deserve.

If you can help us win this race and get our state back on track by contributing just $5 (or whatever you can) right now, we can invest in a campaign you can be proud of and get that much closer to bringing Medicaid back under state control.

While Gov. Reynolds promises more of the same with her privatization disaster, I hear from Iowans every day who are desperate for change and much needed care. I stand with them today more than ever -- because every Iowan deserves access to quality, affordable health care without having to jump over legal hurdles and constant denials just to live their lives.

Thanks for standing with Iowa's most vulnerable citizens,

Fred
