IA: Miller-Meeks: Stop Closing Our Hospitals
Food & Water Watch
Join us at MercyOne Genesis Davenport Birth Center May 7th, 3-5 pm to hold Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks accountable for her cuts to Iowa’s healthcare system.
Last year Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks voted to cut Medicaid for thousands of Iowans, endangering our rural hospitals. Now, Iowa river-town healthcare facilities are closing and sending patients to hospitals hours away, with MercyOne Clinton Medical Center ending its labor and delivery services at the end of May.
The labor and delivery unit at the Clinton Medical Center is closing due to a loss of $1.5 billion in funding that Miller-Meeks voted for.
These closures are coming as Iowans deal with an unprecedented cancer crisis, fueled by industrial agriculture pollution running into our waterways.
Show up to show Miller-Meeks that we don’t support packing pregnant Iowans into dwindling hospitals for a billionaire’s bottom line!
