The 132nd Fighter Wing, home of the "Vipers" which is located in
Des Moines. The 132nd Fighter Wing is recognized as one of the top
Fighter Wings in the Air Force with six Air Force Outstanding Unit
Awards in its 60 year history; The 185th Fighter Wing from Sioux City
whose unit was one of the first units that were not on alert status to
respond to NORAD on September 11, 2001. After NORAD called they
were airborne within thirty minutes with live missiles and guns to fly
CAP over Omaha and escorted Air Force One to Andrews Air Force
Base on that day; The 133rd Test Squadron from Fort Dodge whose
duty is to provide an effective and sustainable war fighting Command

O'BRIEN of Boone


GOVERNOR'S ITEM VETO MESSAGE

A copy of the following communication was received and placed on
file:

February 8, 2002

The Honorable Brent Siegrist
Speaker of the House
State Capitol Building
L O C A L

Dear Speaker Siegrist:

I hereby transmit House File 2245, an act relating to the medical assistance
program, making appropriations and transfers of funds, and providing an effective
date.

The medical assistance supplemental bill is vitally important for hundreds of
thousands of Iowans. This bill makes significant strides toward addressing the
increased demand for medical services by families in need.

However, the bill has several provisions, which I cannot support. I oppose attempts
to raise prescription costs on Iowans in need and add an unnecessary, burdensome
layer of bureaucracy and cost to the delivery of medical assistance. In addition, the
anticipated cost savings for some provisions are overstated. The burdens created for
some families and health care providers are also unacceptable.

House File 2245 is, therefore, signed on this date with the following exceptions,
which I hereby disapprove.

I am unable to approve the item designated as Section 4, subsection 2 in its
entirety. This language directs any remaining funds in the Hospital Trust Fund after
the first $7 million is appropriated to replace the $2.5 million in the Tobacco
Endowment. By vetoing this provision, any funds remaining in the Hospital Trust
Fund would be transferred to the Senior Living Trust in accordance with Section 4,
subsection 3 of the bill. This veto will improve the balance between resources used by
the Senior Living Trust and Tobacco Settlement Endowment. It will also preserve the
priority of long-term care transitions over the endowment.

I am unable to approve the item designated as Section 5, subsection 2 in its
entirety. This language directs that if certain federal funds are not received during the
present fiscal year, the Department of Human Services appropriations will be reduced
by up to $7 million-funds used to protect children and provide health care coverage for
uninsured Iowans. The provision punishes children and Iowans in need because of
action on the part of the federal government.

I am unable to approve the item designated as Section 7, subsection 1 in its
entirety. The legislature's bill would require additional bureaucracy and associated
costs by calling for monthly reporting requirements for those who experience a change
in income, mailing address, household composition, or health insurance. In doing so,

the legislature would be creating an additional layer of bureaucracy, and an additional
layer of cost to process the monthly reports. This new bureaucratic requirement is
particularly unnecessary, considering the Department of Human Services already
requires Iowans in need who receive medical assistance to report changes in such
factors. This is an example of an area where the projected savings are overstated.

While I am not recommending a veto of the section relating to restrictions on dental
services that would be available to medical assistance recipients, as now passed, most
of the projected savings have been eliminated. Savings under this proposal are much
less than the amount indicated by the Legislature of $1.6 million for four months.

I am unable to approve the item designated as Section 7, subsection 3 in its
entirety. The provision would increase the cost of prescription drugs for Iowans most
in need. This, in effect, is a tax on a group-aged, blind, disabled, children, caretakers
with very little or no income. Additionally, if the individuals do not have the funds, the
pharmacist is required to dispense the drug anyway. This requires pharmacists to
subsidize the costs and creates an additional reluctance on the part of pharmacists to
handle Medicaid patients.

I am unable to approve the item designated as Section 9 in its entirety. The
provision would require nursing facilities to be certified for Medicaid and Medicare-
even if the nursing facility does not take Medicare patients. Therefore, I have directed
the Department of Human Services to immediately prepare administrative rules to
address dual certification for all applicable nursing facilities, thus requiring
certification of a nursing facility for both Medicare and Medicaid when they are, in fact,
providing services for clients of each program. The directive avoids unnecessary
additional administrative cost for dual certification that would be borne by the state,
over 62 nursing facilities (which do not need the dual certification, nor will they in the
future serve Medicare clients), and Iowans who receive nursing home services.

For the above reasons, I respectfully disapprove these items in accordance with
Amendment IV of the Amendments of 1968 to the Constitution of the State of Iowa.
All other items in House File 2245 are hereby approved as of this date.

Sincerely,
Thomas J. Vilsack
Governor
