Southeast Iowa dodges worst of storm

OTTUMWA — Southeast Iowa woke up to slippery streets and snow covered sidewalks, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been.

The brunt of the snowstorm hit farther west. Totals in this area were generally in the 4-5 inch range. That was on the lower end of predictions for the storm.

Sioux City got the worst of the storm for Iowa, with totals nearing 10 inches.

The Iowegian wants readers to think about the debate Rep. Larry Sheets talks about at the state capital centered on "accepting Medicaid expansion as defined by the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), or choosing to create an Iowa specific health care program. Those who prefer the Medicaid expansion believe the federal government will fulfill its commitments three years from now. Those opposing explain that the federal government is only capable of that by borrowing the money from the Chinese." So, the question this week is, "Should Iowa accept the federal government's Medicaid expansion or create a health care program specific to the state?"

A. Accept Medicaid expansion.
B. Create health care program.
