Windsor Heights, Iowa — Iowa Democratic Party chair Rita Hart hosted a mid-morning rally to blast the “One Big Beautiful Bill” that Congress has passed.
Hart says the bill will put Iowa hospitals and nursing homes at risk and raise energy costs by phasing out tax credits for wind energy.
Dave Reid of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers says the bill puts America’s energy future at risk.
Sandy Holland, a nurse from Missouri Valley, says she’s worried about the impact on Medicaid payments for nursing homes and rural hospitals.
The event was held in Windsor Heights, which is in Congressman Zach Nunn’s district. Hart urged the crowd to keep calling Nunn’s office and urge him to vote no on the bill.
The House sent the bill to President Trump on a 218–214 vote.
