So far the only thing it has done for our rural area is turn good full time jobs into part-time jobs and cause a 1/3 of our Doctors to leave the county.......can't say I have heard one person with anything positive to say about it. My best hope is that it will bring more people to my view that Iowa needs to separate itself from the federal monster being created. :usa:
I think this one is for us;
Emphasis 5: Outreach to high-risk and hard-to-engage populations
