RT @eliowa: For the "Iowa hospitals have beds" folks, please see this email sent to all UIHC employees. If you want a bed, go to a Holiday&
Today in the IA Senate, Republicans holding a subcommittee on SF 88 that requires mandatory drug testing on every newborn baby<U+2019>s umbilical cord.
Whereas, Gov Reynolds is sucking millions of $ out of rural health care and underfunding it to the point of collapse<U+2026> https://t.co/w9tZDXl0Gg
Pregnant Iowans in towns across the state lost the ability to have a baby at their local hospital under Gov Reynolds<U+2019> <U+201C>modernized<U+201D> + <U+201C>profitized<U+201D> Medicaid scam that is ripping us off. Now it is taking down entire hospitals. https://t.co/7K7I1Jfyjv via @DMRegister
Gov Reynolds<U+2019> <U+201C>Modernized Medicaid<U+201D> allows out-of-state companies to profit as health care services crumble across rural Iowa.
Kim Reynolds has shown where she stands on reproductive health care for Iowans - gutting family planning, labor & delivery services in rural Iowa, and pushing for a complete ban on abortion. Her record is proof of why she shouldn<U+2019>t be re-elected. https://t.co/1lsNiw9sBc
Iowa kids should have access to dentists. Gov Reynolds<U+2019> <U+201C>modernized Medicaid<U+201D> only pays dentists 37% of the bill to do a child dental cleaning. Fewer dentists helping Medicaid patients = bigger dental ER bills. In 2020, Iowans paid $2m in ER costs. https://t.co/jaKoO0oQrL
.@IAGovernor privatized Medicaid pumps millions of $$$ out-of-state while rural hospitals continue losing services. @SenJoniErnst Red Oak is 7th IA hospital to lose Labor&Delivery this year. That brings total to 40 IA hospitals w/o L&D services. https://t.co/jUVkHD94e7
Stop pushing shame-based bills, @IAGovernor. Do something positive for Iowa - ban old school vending machines that put period products behind lock, key & quarter. Thousands of Iowans menstruate. Period products should be available for free in public restrooms like TP. https://t.co/Men37HFamV
