concerns as the session swings into action.

Iowa Health Care Commission Makes Recommendations
The Iowa Affordable Health Care Plans for Small
Businesses & Families Commission will meet for the
eighth time in Des Moines next week. The Commission
approved a series of reports from sub-committees in
December that will make up the final report
recommendations. Click Health Care Commission . Then click
on additional information then click on Material
Distributed to see the subcommittee recommendations.
The next meeting of the Commission is January 8. At
that time a final report is expected to be voted on.
The Iowa General Assembly will convene on January 14,
2008 and begin work on these health care reform ideas.
