...$126 million this year, according to a state auditor, just over half of the $234 million projected last year by then-Gov. Terry Branstad (R). Just 64,584 of Iowa's 677,198 Medicaid beneficiaries remain in fee-for-service — most are now enrolled in offerings from Anthem, Inc.'s Amerigroup subsidiary, and UnitedHealthcare.
