This study was released in April of this year, so it's not really breaking news, but I hadn't heard anything about it in the papers so I thought it couldn't hurt to post it.
The Public Citizen Health Research Group conducted a study of all of the Medicaid programs in all of the 50 states and ranked them according to four basic categories: Eligibility, Scope of Service, Quality of Care, and Reimbursement. Iowa ranked, respectively, 25th, 25th, 37th, and 6th in these categories and had an overall rating of 17th.
I'm pretty sure this would qualify as a "B-" on a report card.
