Iowans are noticing that Mariannette Miller-Meeks is a complete and total phony.
Miller-Meeks recently visited Knoxville Hospital and Clinics to discuss how rural hospitals can brace for cuts to Medicaid – a problem Miller-Meeks caused due to Medicaid cuts that she was “delighted” to vote for.
Now, a constituent is calling out Miller-Meeks for trying to cover her tracks. In a scathing letter, a LeClaire voter calls her stunt “a distraction from her vote for the massive Medicaid cuts,” duly noting that Miller-Meeks is “ducking any public forums where she’d get real feedback.”

Quad City Times: Letter: Iowa needs no more Miller-Meeks
- Congresswoman Miller-Meeks is at it again.
- Having enthusiastically voted for the $941 billion in Medicaid cuts, and then fled media and constituents alike, Miller-Meeks mused at a recent Knoxville round table, “What does Iowa need?” She is now in her third term but still has not learned that the time to ask such questions is BEFORE she votes on a bill.
- The American Hospital Association concluded that 37,000 rural Iowans will lose their Medicaid coverage while rural Iowa hospitals will lose $2.7 billion in Medicaid funding. Miller-Meeks eagerly embraced these cuts, but now she belatedly claims to be gathering feedback under the pretense of grabbing a portion of the $50 billion in nation-wide grants intended to off-set this devastation to rural hospitals, that is, a $50 billion patch for a $941 billion wound.
- In doing so, she whined that “small states always get short shrift,” thus admitting that her Knoxville performance was pure sham, just a distraction from her vote for the massive Medicaid cuts while giving billions in tax breaks to her billionaire supporters and adding $3.4 trillion to the national debt for the rest of us.
- She predictably barred the media and the public alike from this hand-wringing act.
- First District voters are fed up with her vote-first-and-ask-questions-later approach, especially when it is followed by holing up in Ottumwa, ducking any public forums where she’d get real feedback.
- What does Iowa need? No more Miller-Meeks.
