John,

Governor Branstad and Iowa House Republicans continue to rush ahead with their plan to force 560,000 Iowa Medicaid patients out of their current healthcare plans starting April 1st. 

House Republicans for their part have continued to refuse oversight of the $5 billion privatization effort. Already, the rush to privatization has caused gaps in coverage, providers refusing to accept Medicaid patients, and confusion for Iowa families. 1. 2. 

Stand with House Democrats – Sign the petition calling on House Republicans and the Governor to stop the rush to privatize Medicaid.
