Healthcare access can no longer be linked to employment, to marriage, or to economic status. The past 5 years in Iowa have proven that state-wide public healthcare cannot be managed by out-of-state corporations with no stake in the communities they serve. Learn more
The income tax system needs to be simplified, clarified, and made more progressive. But it must not be eliminated. Learn more
