Rob claims
Bringing Medicaid back under direct government management will make healthcare cheaper.
Fact
Rob Sand wants to dismantle Iowa's current Medicaid system and put state government back in charge. His plan would jeopardize more than $1 billion in funding for Iowa hospitals, hitting rural hospitals and the communities that depend on them the hardest.
Bottom line
Rob's Medicaid experiment would mean less money for rural hospitals, fewer healthcare options, and more government bureaucracy between patients and their care.
