Iowas Republican governor is seeking a face-to-face meeting with President Obama to make a personal appeal for the states alternative plan to expand Medicaid coverage for up to 150,000 Iowans.
Just to stress how important it is and how the White House needs to make it clear to HHS that this waiver approval needs to occur, Branstad says

We got all of our material to them on a timely basis, Branstad says. We were expecting and hoping that we would get this approval before the first of October, but you know the mess and the problems and the way that things have happened in that department since the first of October. We cant help that.

Every time I go to Washington, D.C. I try to make it clear this is a priority of ours, Branstad says. Weve worked hard. We reached a bipartisan compromise to get the Iowa Health and Wellness plan. Weve moved forward in good faith. Were signing people up. Weve had no problems with our website.

You sat on your hands and then patched together your own special plan at the last minute. Don't pretend it's Obama/HHS that is the problem.
