Hubbell ad focusing on Medicaid [View all]

WILL GOVERNOR’S RACE COME DOWN TO MEDICAID OR YOUNKERS?

When Iowans enter the voting booth in November, which will weigh more heavily on their mind: Younkers or Medicaid?

That seems to be what the race for governor is boiling down to at this point as Governor Kim Reynolds and Fred Hubbell are now months into their TV ad campaigns. Reynolds hopes to turn Hubbell’s business executive experience from the 1980s into a liability. Hubbell wants voters to focus on the broken privatized Medicaid system that many see Reynolds mismanaging.

This week, Hubbell rolled out his hardest-hitting ad to date, one that features a quadriplegic man whose in-home care was cut after Medicaid privatization. He had to sell his home and move to get new services.
