2022 IA Senate race: on Health Care


Cindy Axne: Member of Affordable and Accessible Health Care Task Force

Cindy's top priority in Congress is working to fix our broken health care system so that every Iowan has access to quality, affordable health care. Cindy will never let Washington go back to a time when Iowans with pre-existing conditions could be denied care. As a member of the Affordable and Accessible Health Care Task Force, Cindy is committed to advancing practical, bipartisan policies to improve our healthcare system.

Theresa Greenfield: Said she'd fight drug costs, but Big Pharma donated to her

So, while Senate Majority PAC (a super-PAC) was running ads saying Greenfield would fight to lower prescription drug costs, she was accepting money from Big Pharma lobbyists who have zero interest in lowering prescription drug costs. And all the while she promised she would "not take a dime from corporate PACs." It doesn't matter if you're refusing corporate PAC money when super-PACs are making six-figure ad buys for you.
