Iowa Healthcare

Functional health doc told us eliminating processed foods and adding movement reversed "chronic" issues

@IowaPod @HyVee Couldn’t agree with you more-Jon & his team are making a difference for many in their health journey & as an option to the fee-for-service model-it is, however, difficult to overlook the profiting from both sides & it reinforces that healthcare in America is sadly a commodity.

@IAHealthcare @HyVee Health is a trajectory. We should applaud every company, taking positive steps forward.

Heads in beds. Sick care. The current healthcare model isn’t broken, it’s working exactly as intended... just not for you. Dr. Jon Van Der Veer created a monthly subscription model that flips the entire model backwards. Instead of making a fortune keeping you sick, their model depends on keeping you healthy. Hy-Vee Health Exemplar Care is the brain child of Van Der Veer. He explains why healthcare is broken for consumers, why many providers want to keep it broken, and how their exclusive subscription model is only sustainable by keeping you healthy.

@IowaPod @HyVee You’re right - it’s a great business model - a lousy healthcare model.

@IAHealthcare @HyVee Retailers carry what consumers want. Changing the marketplace requires consumer action.

@DMRegister Iowa legislators solution to rising healthcare costs? Raise them higher!!! #Iowa #ialegis

Iowa House OKs tax hike on private health insurance to fund Medicaid desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…

@RobSandIA Seriously?!? A Polk County owned hospital has profited on the backs of property taxpayers for 5 years & you haven’t done a thing. Thousands of central Iowans are being denied care because this hospital is too busy making money. #Iowa #ialegis #ia03

Just another example of insiders prioritizing their own interests ahead of doing what’s right for Iowans. northscottpress.com/stories/senato…

@Dawson4Senate @CarterNordman #ialegis @BroadlawnsMed

@eda2026 If we stopped growing GMO corn the entire ultra processed food system would collapse

Iowa produces the most GMO corn in the US. Iowa uses more pesticide than any other state except one. Iowa has the 2nd greatest incidence of cancer in the US. Some Iowa countries have cancer rates 50% higher than the national average. But it can’t be the chemicals…

According to sources at the @BroadlawnsMed Trustees meeting last night, Broadlawns reported making $100 million last year & then without discussion, Emily Webb led the vote to raise Polk County property taxes nearly $80 million next year. Where is @RobSandIA ? #Iowa #ialegis

@BohannanIowa Christina supports: Increasing profits of health insurance companies with continued subsidies; The killing of thousands of innocent Iranians - gays and women; Free healthcare for illegals; Boys in girls bathrooms. Vote for Christina! #iowa

The Director of the National Economic Council just said that continuing the war in Iran would hurt consumers, but that is the last of his concerns. Iowans are seeing gas prices skyrocket, while still feeling the effects of tariffs and insurance premium increases -- but @millermeeks still refuses to stand up to her party bosses to bring down costs for working Iowans.

@SarahforIowa MercyOne made a corporate decision to close the Ottumwa clinic - incompetent leadership was the root cause - it had nothing to do with @NunnForCongress #ia03 #iowa

Dr. Peter Reiter treated Ottumwans for four decades, which is how he knows how important the Mercy One clinic there was. Watch him describe the effects of Zach Nunn's OBBB vote and what it means for health care access in rural Iowa.

@SarahforIowa supports: Special rights for trans; Boys in girls locker rooms; Free healthcare for illegals; Condemning “white males”. She is scary and wrong for #Ia03. #iowa

“Kinsey of Clive”, who stars in the anti @NunnForCongress commercial, claims food prices are too high but also doesn’t appear to be lacking for calories. Hypocrisy. #Iowa #ia03

@gazettedotcom Gender dysphoria is a mental disorder - trans is a social construct - follow science and not the mentally ill.

@IowaPod A county-owned safety net hospital that is profiting on the backs of Iowa taxpayers and the state auditor won’t investigate.
