Legislative News [
By State Representative Julian B. Garrett
Involuntary Commitments
We are continuing to work on mental health reform.
Ill the House Judiciary Committee we passed an
amended version of Senate File 406. The bill lays out
procedures for involuntary commitments of persons
with mental health problems, substance abuse problems
or intellectual disabilities. Persons are involuntarily
committed, by court order, when they are a threat of
doing harm to themselves or others. The bill establishes
a division of mental health advocate in the State's De-
partment of Inspections and Appeals. The job of the
mental health advocate is to be sure that the rights of
anyone, who is committed, are respected. Advocates
need to be well-trained and independent so they can
protect the patient's rights. During the court proceed-
ings the patient will also be represented by an attorney,
but the attorney's role will end when the court proceed-
ings are finished, unless the court orders that the
attorney's services are to continue. I was a member of
the mental health work group that worked on this sub-
ject over the last two years. I was able to work with the
members of the subcommittee handling the bill on its
final wording. The bill must be passed by the full House
and the Senate, and be signed by the Governor, to be-
come law.
Education Reform
We in the House passed our Education Reform Bill
and sent it to the Senate on February 20. On April 3 the
Senate finally passed its amended version of the bill.
The Senate took out most of the accountability from the
bill. It also removed the provisions relating to school
choice, homeschooling and private schools. The Senate
version costs about $40 million more than the House
version. The bill now goes to a conference committee
made up of House and Senate members who will try to
come to an agreement on a bill that both chambers will
support.
Medicaid-Obamacare
There has been much talk about expanding Medic-
aid in Iowa with most discussions centering on the claim
that the federal government will pay 100% of the cost
initially, with its share going down to 90% over time.
The facts are that thousands of Iowans are qualified for
Medicaid under the old program, but are not signed
up. I have seen estimates ranging from 50,000 to 80,000.
Obamacare will at least theoretically force everyone to
have health insurance, meaning that it is likely that most
of these people will now sign up for Medicaid. These
people Will come under the existing program meaning
that the state will pay about 42% of their costs while the
broke federal government will pay the rest. It is only
the newly eligible people, an estimated 150,000, whose
incomes range from 100% to 133% Of the federal pov-
erty level, that are eligible to have 100% of their costs
initially paid for by the federal government. With the
federal government paying less than 60% of the cost of
the existing Medicaid program, how long can we count
on it to pay 90% of the cost of new enrollees? We in the
House are looking at the Governor's health care plan
and the plan passed by the Senate. We are now working
to come up with a plan that best addresses the health
needs of Iowans at an affordable cost.
Indianola Forum
My next forum will be at the Farm Bureau Office in
Indianola Saturday, April 13, at 10 a.m. Questions and
comments from those attending are welcome. Everyone
is invited.
