AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Medicaid Access: Iowa is declining a federal hardship exemption for some enrollees facing new Medicaid work rules, set to begin Jan. 1. Separately, local groups estimate nearly 2,000 Iowa refugees have lost Medicaid coverage, with counties directing families to free clinics. Rural Care: Rep. Zach Nunn highlighted a $209 million federal investment in rural Iowa health care. Nursing Home Oversight: Two Iowa nursing homes have joined a federal watchlist after a resident’s fall-related death and another resident’s death from sepsis. Cancer Care: A new University of Iowa clinic is testing exercise programs to help cancer patients and survivors improve their health. Iowa cancer rates are also drawing attention in the election campaign, amid calls for more research into environmental exposures.
