To the editor:
Gov. Terry Branstad says he wants to stop bullying in schools. But we have a bully for governor.
His plan will hurt people's health care. Children, pregnant women, health care providers, and long term care Iowan services should not be faced with the bad decisions Branstad is making to change Medicaid.
Branstad wants to privatize our health care even if it will be worse for those it is supposed to help. Branstad told our elected representatives about great savings from the change, when there was no real data used. This option should be declared not acceptable. Contact Medicaid and your representatives.
