The State Legislature’s votes to cut Medicaid expansion will plunge our state deeper into this cancer crisis. Iowa Medicaid serves as a lifeline for many workers, veterans, and our rural hospitals. Cutting Medicaid expansion puts the critical health care for 180,000 Iowans at risk. Iowa lawmakers must do better.”
