You read that right, Community Choice Credit Union is now offering low-cost, monthly unlimited access healthcare plans for it's 50,000 members. CEO Josh Cook explains their crazy partnership with Hy-Vee Health Exemplar Care and how their plan will give members 24/7 access to doctors for a low monthly cost.
Cook says there aren't plans to actually take your temperature and check your blood pressure while helping you on a small business or home loan (yet). Instead, he believes their first-of-a-kind partnership will have positive long-term impact on their customers and community. Health and finances are directly linked, he told us.

Pro tip for PR people: if you pitch a guest who has no connection to Iowa and doesn't live here, we aren't going to bother replying. We will just mark you as spam.

Candidate for Congress, @RickStewart of @LPIowa says he didn't collect signatures. He explains what he found inside a mysterious box dropped on his doorstep. @LPNational
What do you reach for if you want to wind down with a delicious cocktail, but don't want alcohol or THC? Your options are fruit juice or sparkling water. @simplyhealthyrd, co-founder of Pesche and a certified nutritionist, says that gap is an opportunity to create a new beverage product focused around positive health "moments."
Pesche's husband and co-founder was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in his twenties, which threw fuel on their inspirational fire to create a delicious, yet nutritious beverage using mushrooms, herbs, and minerals. Could they create a beverage that not only tasted good, but also aided calm, focus, or sleep?

Sonquist explains the increase they've been seeing as companies bring manufacturing back home to the USA from countries like China. He also notes how new companies and smaller startups are beginning to build new products at smaller volume, and how Plas-Tech is meeting those growing midwest needs.

@Dave_Bushaw is the first "no party" candidate in Iowa, and perhaps in US History and that brand rings true. He's pro 2nd amendment, wants gun safety in schools, but is also pro-single payer healthcare. Bushaw's views are varied and it's clear he's not beholden to any particular party.
Bushaw discusses his view on the "right to work scam," corrects claims he is pro mandatory military service, and defends single-payer healthcare from an economic perspective and not the usual "human right" speech.

Iowa State Treasurer Candidate @NorwoodJohn explains his IPERS concerns, discusses the problems with Iowa officials selecting lowest-bidders on state projects, and shares how he'd pull all state funds from national banks into Iowa banks.
Despite Iowa Republicans being clear about supporting IPERS with no intention to change it, Norwood shares why he is still concerned. He also explains the economics behind moving 2.5 billion dollars of state funds into Iowa banks, he says even if the investment returns are lower, the overall state economic impact is worth it.

The @GWR road to 600,000 meals continues. @WorldFoodPrize

Libertarian candidate for US Congress, @RickStewart defends Universal Basic Income from a Libertarian viewpoint, abolishing income tax, legalization of drugs, erased portions of his call with HHS Secretary Bobby Kennedy, and in a bonus wrap-up chat, how he never collected signatures to get on the ballot.
Stewart has run for U.S. Senate, Linn County Sheriff, Secretary of Agriculture, Governor, and now the US House of Representatives. He addresses the Libertarian Party losing popularity, despite more voters claiming to be independent, explains how the party was hijacked, why he believes they've finally righted the ship.
