A rural hospital told Zach Wahls Medicaid was ‘our salvation.’ Ashley Hinson voted to cut it


Democratic candidate for US Senate Zach Wahls visited a Red Oak hospital whose leaders called Medicaid “our salvation,” then watched US Rep. Ashley Hinson vote to gut it.

Wahls’ healthcare plan calls for restoring $800 billion in cuts and building a federal rural health infrastructure fund to keep Iowa’s rural hospitals open.
