Rob Sand says he'll work to end privatized Medicaid on Day 1

Iowa Gov.-elect Rob Sand says he'll begin the process of ending Iowa's decade-old Medicaid privatization system on his first day in office, but the transition won't happen overnight. Why it matters: The end of privatized Medicaid would be one of the most dramatic changes to Iowa's health care systems in 10 years, but Sand has criticized the program, saying it prioritizes profits over patients. Driving the news: Sand shared his early priorities with reporters during his first press conference as governor-elect in the Capitol rotunda Monday. "This is not a thing that we can do overnight. But my intention is that that process begins on day one," Sand said. Catch up quick: Former Republican Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad transferred management of Iowa's Medicaid program from the state to private insurance companies in 2016, arguing the move would improve care and save taxpayers money. The program launched April 1, 2016, transferring coverage for around 94% of Medicaid members to three privately managed care organizations. A 2021 report from Sand's state auditor's office found an 891% increase in administrative law judges overturning denials of Medicaid services after privatization. The other side: State officials disputed the findings, saying changes to the appeals process

Steel plant executive offers SE Iowa promises — and hope

FORT MADISON — In a carpeted Quality Inn & Suites conference room, an executive in a navy-blue vest made promises to residents in the southeast corner of Iowa. First, Mesabi Metallics CEO Joe Broking promised the farmers, mechanics, local officials and others gathered there that his company would be transparent. Then, he promised them the world. Broking displayed a rendering of the company's plan: a sprawling industrial campus where employees will melt iron and turn it into rolled steel. He provided a long list of industries that could buy from the plant, from automakers to appliance manufacturers and construction materials suppliers. It will be “the cleanest, most environmentally friendly steel in the world at the lowest cost,” Broking said. “And we can do that right here in the U.S., right here in Iowa.” The promises kept coming. “Your schools are going to improve. Your housing market’s going to improve. Access to community amenities is going to improve,” Broking said. People in the crowd of about 100 whispered among themselves as he went on. “This is absolutely a fantastic opportunity for Mesabi Metallics and a fantastic opportunity for each and every one of you. And I can’t wait to actually come

Feds remove pollution protections from Iowa waterways

The Environmental Protection Agency has removed several rivers and streams from the Iowa Natural Resources Department's list of impaired waterways , despite being contaminated with dangerous levels of nitrates. An environmental coalition sued the EPA over the move but the agency has doubled down on its decision. Citing high nitrate levels caused largely by farm runoff, the advocacy group Food and Water Watch and the Iowa Environmental Council took the EPA to court over its failure to protect segments of the Cedar, Des Moines, Iowa and South Skunk rivers, meaning they will not be prioritized for developing cleanup plans. Dani Replogle, staff attorney for Food and Water Watch, said the EPA offered a weak rationale for keeping these rivers off the list. "For example, by saying that we only have 362 days of data, and if we had 365 – a full year's worth of data – then maybe the percentage of exceedance days would be under the limit," Replogle pointed out. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources sends nitrate level information to the EPA, which the agency uses to decide whether to include waterways on the impaired list. Despite historical and repeated incidents of dangerous nitrate levels, the agency
