Description: This report examines how Iowa farm and ranch operators get health insurance coverage and the amount of their overall healthcare costs. Costs include insurance premiums and money spent out-of-pocket for medical services, treatments, and products.

In conjunction with the release of the report, Iowa for Health Care, the Access Project and the Iowa Farmers Union traveled over 650 miles around the state to nine different cities to bring the specific health care cost and access concerns of Iowa family farmers to the attention of Iowa voters.
