2023 #Iowa personal #consumption spending breaking out #HealthCare. 50% of health care is paid by #Medicare and #Medicaid. As we cut, which #grandchild dies of tonsilitis complications, which child's broken arm isn't set, and which #grandparent isn't treated for pneumonia. #Grassley #Ernst #Nunn

This will come up in the #Iowa Senate as early as Tuesday, April 8. It will be significant economic blow to the #healthcare industry, which is about 12 percent of Iowa’s GDP. It will save state government virtually nothing. #Medicaid #IowaRepublicans #republicans #IowaDemocrats #Democrats

I'm embarrassed. I'm good at research, but I'm stumped.

I can't find that #Gospel verse where #Jesus suggests rounding up people you don't like & sending them to slave labor camps in El Salvador.

Any help would be appreciated.

LET THEM SHUT IT DOWN!

Republicans control everything. They could solve things instead of chortling about breaking everything they touch.

If they want to burn it all down, let them strike the match.

Then hold their damn noses to the fire. #schumer #democrats #republicans #erst #grassley #nunn

A term that often comes up when I talk to clients is the “Movable Middle.” The idea is that if a client can pull some of the middle of a population in their direction, they can generate sustainable growth or drive sustainable changes in policy.
