Sorry, no link...this is from an email I received from Judge's campaign:
Patty Judge Releases Plan Moving Iowa Towards Universal Health Care Coverage Making health insurance affordable for all Iowans
Des Moines, IA – Secretary of Agriculture Patty Judge, Democratic candidate for Governor, today released a detailed plan to provide affordable health insurance to all Iowans.
“The most important issue facing our next Governor will be providing health insurance for all Iowans. I intend to make it the number one issue in a Judge Administration,” stated Judge. “For too long too many Iowans have gone without health insurance. Today we begin to put an end to such a shameful reality,”
Judge’s plan calls for increasing the Hawk-I enrollment threshold from 200 to 250 percent for children. Moreover, she proposes opening Hawk-I to parents of children enrolled in or eligible for the program at the same threshold level. Judge also wants Hawk-I to cover prenatal and postpartum treatment for women without health insurance in Iowa. Finally, Judge proposes using 20 percent of the Grow Iowa Values Fund to help new small businesses provide health care coverage to their employees.

She doesn't say how she'd pay for it, but I am still glad there is a candidate discussing it.
