VIDEO, Iowa Hospitals : The Business Case for Medicaid Expansion - Medicaid Expansion would improve Iowa's Health, the workforce would be more productive. - If Iowa does not use the Medicaid Expansion other States would have a competitive business advantage

.

150,000 uninsured Iowans will enter the Health Care System as properly insured and receiving excellent attention if the Medicaid Expansion takes place.

The Business Climate would be stronger in Iowa with the Medicaid Expansion, and the population would be healthier. The uninsured very often end in Emergency Rooms because they have no preventive attention.

The Emergency Room is the most expensive place to receive Health Care and the people that are insured have been paying higher premiums because others have no insurance.

New Businesses will relocate in Iowa if there is Medicaid Expansion.
