Bill Summary
IA HF2676, the "Iowa Make America Healthy Again Act," requires physicians to complete continuing education in nutrition and metabolic health, mandates medical schools teach at least forty hours of nutrition coursework, establishes a Summer EBT program for children, prohibits artificial dyes and preservatives in school meals, expands epinephrine delivery systems to include nasal sprays, limits digital instruction time for elementary students, requires school technology use policies, includes the Presidential Physical Fitness Test in PE curricula, enacts an interstate psychology compact for telepsychology, and makes ivermectin available over-the-counter without a prescription.
Why It Matters to MAHA
This bill advances multiple MAHA priorities by removing artificial dyes and preservatives from school meals, directly addressing the clean-food agenda that is non-negotiable to MAHA values. It expands health freedom by making ivermectin available over-the-counter, giving patients direct access to a treatment without requiring a physician's gatekeeping. The nutrition education requirements for physicians and medical schools align with MAHA's commitment to transparency and shifting healthcare toward metabolic health and prevention. The interstate psychology compact enhances patient autonomy by allowing Americans to access mental health services across state lines, reducing regulatory barriers to care. Together, these provisions reflect MAHA's core mission of patient choice, transparency, and freedom from unnecessary restrictions.
