One of the Iowans who doesn’t think they’ll be able to afford health insurance next year went to a statehouse event Friday to ask legislators for help — and some answers. “I don’t care who gets it done. I just need it done.” Fifty-seven-year-old Bill Zook, of Ankeny earns too much to qualify for subsidies to buy insurance on the individual market.
On Monday, Governor Reynolds said ObamaCare’s complicated rules don’t allow states to innovate and she withdrew Iowa’s “stopgap” plan that aimed to reduce premium hikes. Medica is the only insurance company left that will sell 2018 policies to the 22-thousand Iowans who must buy on the individual market. Zook says Medica will charge him 24-hundred a month, with a deductible of nearly 14-thousand dollars.
Adding on co-payments for office visits, Zook estimates he’d spend nearly 40-thousand dollars next year if he buys a Medica policy. “I don’t know. You know there’s these Christian organizations, MediShare, those sorts of things that I’m researching,” Zook says. “Here we are almost at November 1st and I was waiting for the ‘stopgap’, I was waiting for people like these senators and representatives here for some solutions and I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
Zook, who says he has voted Republican, had hoped President Trump’s recent executive order allowing companies to sell insurance across state lines might help. But Zook can’t find any companies willing to sell him a policy. “I’m confused where to go next,” Zook says. “My insurance agent, I talked to him, and he said: ‘Move out of state.'”
Zook says it’s “not fair” that public employees in Iowa get health care benefits, while he may have to self-insure next year. Zook retired at the age of 55 after working in the retail industry. Six months after he retired, Zook’s former employer cancelled health insurance benefits for all retirees. Zook says he was told by his former company that policies sold on the “ObamaCare” exchange would be cheaper, but he says the Wellmark policies he bought were not cheap.
Wellmark is not selling individual policies for 2018.

Iowa’s pheasant season opens this (Saturday) morning and 50-to-60-thousand hunters are expected to be in the fields statewide. Iowa D-N-R wildlife biologist Todd Bogenschutz says a good season is expected, despite predictions of falling number of pheasants.
“Our counts indicated the population was down about 30% but we’re not sure that’s completely accurate just because it was so dry in August when we did the count,” Bogenschutz says. “We don’t get the best counts when that occurs.” There’s optimism, he says, for healthy populations of game birds.
“We’re probably down a little bit but we don’t think we’re down 30%,” he says. “Hunters should see good numbers as far as pheasants. It may be a year fairly similar to last year. As far as quail in southern Iowa, it looks like quail are in abundance and quail hunting is going to be as good as last year and maybe a little better.”
Bogenschutz says weather is always a factor that can impact opening weekend, especially if the weather is effecting Iowa’s harvest season. “When we started the season this month, it looked like crop harvest was going to be well along and then we got a bunch of rain and slowed it down, so standing crops could be an issue in portions of the state,” he says. “I know parts of the state are moving right along and other parts don’t have much out at all yet.”
There are no major rule changes for hunters this year. One of the primary rules remains, hunters are required to wear at least one item of clothing that’s at least 50% blaze orange. They’re also reminded to get permission if they plan to hunt on private property.
The hours for hunting daily are from 8 A-M to 4:30 P-M and the season runs through January 10th. Learn more at www.iowadnr.gov.
