Has anyone paid attention to the fact that a large percentage of everything that is on the shelf in American stores is illegal to sell in many European countries? In Russia, and in other places, they aren't allowed food assistance or government issued health care unless the recipient participates in some sort of an exorcize program.
Jup. We don't use certain kinds of food colorants, whitening agents or carcinogens to make our food more sweeter, more vibrant and/or whiter. Because at the end of the day it won't matter, a chicken is a chicken, bread is bread, candy is candy. Best wishes to the american people, hopefully you'll be able to get regulations that benefit your health!
@@stewiegriffinfan18he wants to cut wasteful spending. If diabetes, in this case, accounts for hundreds of billions, working on policy to improve health leads to lower spending. Only a dem could find a way to hate that strategy.

@@stewiegriffinfan18 you’ve missed the concept. Require fewer processed foods, incentivize healthy living, etc. To the point of the congressman, in the 1960s, obesity was 1/10th of where it is today. Diabetes is affected by obesity. Fix obesity, and you don’t spend as much on chronic conditions like diabetes because the comorbidity for it is eliminated. The beauty is, it doesn’t require additional spending to achieve.
@@gregnm369 How other than through banning unhealthy food can the GOVERNMENT incentivize healthy eating? We do need more keto options because I personally can never eat at social gatherings because of all the carbs they serve
By attempting to make the American society healthier, these two gentlemen talking about reducing the amount of (Taxpayer) money that will be funneled into the industrial health care industry. They make more money when people are sick and less money when people are healthy. simple as that.
Actually investing in infrastructure instead of a profit driven country is the main issue, but at the healthcare level it is tied into other things like agriculture regulation which is directly tied to distribution industry, (Walmart etc.) who have money to lobby. Change is possible but would call for a lot of quick action in government and that will never happen. Instead the solution is like David says, moral; companies should be maximizing efficiency top down, which is more possible everyday with ai. Maybe if we allocated resources for research like we did for the military….
People ignore government debt because they don’t have their own finances in order, and they shift that blind spot to cover their household and the government.
right and why do we have wic or vice versa when food stamps exist. i have no idea if one program is state or whatever but who cares we don't need 2 food programs.
You Guys had me at Hello, so what are Republicans waiting for, let's do this, Now, this issue plus adding AI to CUT budget cost as Rep David has talked about should be voted on, ASAP! Immediately!
Of course...childhood drugging over personality issues often causes obesity. The cheaper contraception causes obesity on teens+...a lot of meds given to 'cure ' something chronic correspond with weight gain but the system does not coordinate doctors.
Ortho trycicline can cause strokes too. It is not as safe as modern contraceptives that are more expensive. I was on it at 16 to get rid of cysts but the dosage in just two days spiked my blood pressure so high I was in the hospital.
I am on food stamps. I can't work because of pinched nerves in my spine. I get $214 to feed me for a month. Is it any wonder people buy the cheap crap food? Canned vegetables are not as healthy as frozen. Fresh is even better. But that is too expensive.
@@AydenNamie I think we know what the problem is, that has been very well defined by the Representative. I agree 100 percent that there is a demographics issue and that healthcare is a core issue to the cost. What I DONT hear him say is a list of policy suggestions in a clear, bulletized list. He rails a lot, and I agree its warranted, but that works for 1 maybe 5 times. But eventaully you need to STOP saying the same talking pts and said offer the proposed solutions. Is is: 1. Raise the full retirement benefit age. I think there is a legit reason to do that. 2. Is it means test the benefits so that very wealth older people dont get any? I dont love it, but I can see the rational. 3. Is it cut benefits a bit now, to extend the overall program? Possibly doing that now can lead to a more time and b less drastic cut later. 4. Is it raising taxes another 1-2 percent and eliminating the cap of how much and kinds of income the SS tax applies to? I actually think this is needed regardless of it solving the issue or not. His refrain that taxation doesnt SOLVE the problem entirely is irrelevant to if it HELPS to solve the problem. Every difficult issue requires several pieces in its solution. Taxation is one piece and it doesnt make sense that there is a cap on the income made that gets taxed, and it should be on capital gains as well. This is my pt...I quickly, easily outlined several options that could be then discussed...how hard is that?

Keep spreading the truth!!! We are stronger together and if everyone has value contributes 🥂📈

Beyond exciting to see an actual politician, with the interest of the people over the interests of the corporations
What? Wanting to cut public services to cut taxes for the rich is pro corporate

How about we stop letting corporations pay no taxes yet still get masdive refunds.
This guy actually deserves the money he earns. He wont make a difference, but he keeps trying
No wonder the Earth has a wobble when it rotates lol 😆
😂😂😂😂😂
Poor people... I'm not talking about homeless. I'm talking about the people that have low income can't afford to eat healthy. That's the truth
Arizona Republican man is sooooo smart & so right! Joy Reid is absolutely stupid when she says inflation is a made up word.
Wow. Sounds like there are working representatives in our Government. We need more like these two speakers.
Take junk food and high in suger drinks off food stamps for one and being serious it should look more like the wic program
right and why do we have wic or vice versa when food stamps exist. i have no idea if one program is state or whatever but who cares we don't need 2 food programs.
Based
Why isn't Congress full of only people like him?? He should be president.
This tyranny is repulsive already! Fjb!
He really matters to he right on money 💰
Medicade is given to foreigners. It's free.
If you have an income less than 20 thousand dollars a year. Americans are suffering. Sickening

Turn the thermostat up during summer and lower in winter
Be a jerk if you want . Stupid people need a wake up call sometimes !
We aren't paying that shit.
Shame on us for crushing the next 3 generations!!!
How about we stop throwing so much money away on the military industrial complex. There is so much waste there that is unacceptable.
Of course...childhood drugging over personality issues often causes obesity. The cheaper contraception causes obesity on teens+...a lot of meds given to 'cure ' something chronic correspond with weight gain but the system does not coordinate doctors.
In the snap and ebt programs the are allowed to buy sodas frozen dinners with preservatives, chips..massive carts go by filled with junk food ..

Has this gone anywhere? Or did it fall on deaf ears?
But again, WAITING to hear the SPECIFIC policy suggestions. WHAT do you WANT to do???
First we need to address the problem and get everyone to agree. Then we can pour resources into research

Because it's the truth.
@Tater-Skinz i cant even like your comment!
Diabetusss
Are they seriously blaming the government debt problem on Americans?
No, David is wondering why we keep borrowing money and increasing the debt
The richest Americans allied with corporations have captured government and are making it do their bidding. Where is your outrage?
