Iowa should debate a key health reform program in public so the program doesn’t get twisted in favor of the insurance industry, consumer advocates said Tuesday.
Legislators last year failed to reach agreement on setting up a state health-insurance exchange.
...
Gov. Terry Branstad opposes the overall health reform program, but he has said that if the law is upheld, he would prefer a state version of the exchange. His administration has accepted $7 million in grants to help set up an exchange, but his spokesman said the governor does not believe a bill setting the details must be passed this legislative session.
