About 50 people went to talk about the 
the wonder and glory that is Terry's privatized Medicaid system.
During a meeting Thursday night, area families and health care providers expressed frustration and shared their struggles with Iowa's transition to a privatized Medicaid system.
About 50 people attended a listening and help session Thursday night at the Northeast Iowa Community College Town Clock Business Center. The event was hosted by Iowa Sen. Pam Jochum, D-Dubuque.
Attendees were given the opportunity to share their experiences with the new Medicaid structure, as well as meet with representatives of the managed care organizations that have been overseeing the program since April.
"This is not for me to talk. Certainly not," Jochum told attendees. "This is for you. I need to hear what's working, what's not working."
