5. Funny thing, there were no problems when the state ran the system

overhead was very low and payments were made on time.

Branstad unilaterally hijacked an extra 10% on top of the original overhead to fatten the paychecks of the middle man that does nothing. That was money that used to go to care for consumers, now it goes to the administrators.

Then Branstad told all was hunky-dorry. But those damn democrats found out last fall it wasn't. Despite that Iowans showing their brand new Fox like intelligence voted democrats out. Back then they wanted a huge hand out. Can't remember how much, but Branny said sure.

Now they wanted even more. With democrats having no power, we hand over a big check while cutting education, the regents universities on and on.

And Iowans seem to have no problems with this.

No it is not good for Iowa. Our governor-for-life and future ambassador to Trump's new business empire country literally robbed us blind and we said "Thank you, sir. Do you want more?"
