The Iowa House has passed a wide-ranging health policy bill, House File 2676, expanding access to certain medications, including ivermectin, and introducing new restrictions on school meal ingredients and food assistance programs. The bill allows pharmacists to dispense the drug without a traditional prescription requirement, which supporters argue improves access to treatment. However, opponents raised safety concerns about the drug's use and its effectiveness in treating cancer. The legislation also includes several nutrition-related policies, including banning certain food dyes like red and blue and additives from school meals and vending machines. It now heads to the Iowa Senate for consideration.
