Marissa Payne reports for the Register:
State Rep. Timi Brown-Powers, D-Waterloo, the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, criticized the potential change in a statement, calling it a "costly mistake" to shift the correctional health system to a private company "instead of supporting the frontline workers already doing the job."
“We shouldn’t be surprised that Republican leaders are once again making Iowa workers pay the price for their poor budgeting decisions by privatizing healthcare at the Iowa Department of Corrections," Brown-Powers said. "It’s part of a disturbing pattern of short-sighted choices as Republican lawmakers continue to ruin the state's finances and spend more than available revenue, which hurts working families and costs the state more in the long run."
