Abstract

The first session of the Sixty-third General Assembly in 1969 requested that the Legislative Council establish a study committee with a broad mandate to review and study the Medicaid program in Iowa. A 12-member Medicaid Study Committee set up in accordance with that request completed its work and submitted its final report on March 1, 1970, recommending some significant changes in the state's Medicaid law in order to clarify legislative intent, give the Commissioner of Social Services somewhat greater administrative flexibility within the limits of federal and state legislative guidelines, and provide a framework for systematic reports by the Commissioner to the legislature on the existing and prospective status of the Medicaid program.
