DES MOINES — Iowa Democrats are suggesting campaign donations to Gov. Kim Reynolds from one of the state’s Medicaid management companies are further proof Reynolds has made a habit of rewarding donors.
Republicans responded by noting Medicaid funding comes from a complex equation that includes more than just the governor, and by accusing Democrats of playing politics with Iowans’ health care.
Iowa Democrats on Monday highlighted a pair of donations to Reynolds’ campaign made by the political advocacy leg of Amerigroup, one of the private companies that manages Iowa’s $5 billion public health insurance program for more than 680,000 low-income and disabled Iowans.
The first donation to Reynolds from Amerigroup was for $1,000 on Dec. 13, 2017. Democrats noted five months later the state entered into contract negotiations with the Medicaid management companies.
