State Roundup: "Iowa Senate Insists on HIV Insurance Fix"

From Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation

May 2, 2012

"A fix to a program that is denying health care coverage to an estimated 100 HIV-positive residents in Iowa passed in the Iowa Senate this afternoon, resurrected after the House rejected the measure. The bill, Senate File 2293, generally updates law to the state's insurance division. But it also includes what some say is a fix to a $35 million state program charged with insuring Iowans with pre-existing conditions that is denying coverage to HIV-positive residents." (Des Moines Register, Clayworth, 5/1)
