Letter to the Editor - Legislators must act now to save long-term care in Iowa

To the Editor:

Our legislators must take action this month to increase Medicaid reimbursement for long-term care in Iowa, ensuring that quality care is available to local residents.

I’ve worked to care for older adults since I was a high school student, and I’ve watched a rising number of people rely on Medicaid to pay for their care.

By Shane Goodman

150 Years Ago

Fears have been felt and expressed that, owing to the prevalence of cold, wet weather, the wheat sowed in early March, would rot in the ground, and render a second sowing necessary. So far as we are able to learn the fears are not likely to be realized. Wheat is already sprouting and beginning to put in an appearance above ground. Mr. Fill, of Irvington gives it as his opinion that wheat will sprout from seven to nine times without injury.

 

The American Dream... or nightmare

 

Your American dream becomes your worst nightmare. That was the title of an opinion column from Kent Carlson we published in CITYVIEW this month about recently announced property tax increases. Kent is your stereotypical, conservative, anti-tax guy, so I expected this from him. Then I received my assessment, and I realized I am right there with him.
