爱荷华的医疗补助在2027年面临181M的赤字, Iowa’s Medicaid faces $181M deficit in 2027 as pandemic funding ends and costs rise.

爱荷华的医疗补助计划在2026年预计赤字为7 600万美元,在2027年预计赤字为1.81亿美元,因为流行病时代的联邦供资结束和费用增加,原因是病人生病、药品价格上涨以及管理下的护理费增加。 Iowa’s Medicaid program faces projected deficits of $76 million in 2026 and $181 million in 2027 as pandemic-era federal funding ends and costs rise due to a sicker patient population, higher drug prices, and increased managed care payments. 民主党国家审计师罗布·桑德(Rob Sand)批评共和党领导层依赖临时资金,将局势称为“财政定时炸弹 ” 。 官员们说对弱势群体的关怀将继续下去,但在联邦资金削减和拟议工作要求方面仍存在不确定性。 State Auditor Rob Sand, a Democrat, criticized Republican leadership for relying on temporary funds, calling the situation a “fiscal time bomb.” While officials say care for vulnerable groups will continue, uncertainty remains over federal funding cuts and proposed work requirements.
