🚨 The Health Crisis No One is Talking About 🚨
Elon Musk recently claimed that making GLP-1 inhibitors (like Ozempic) super low-cost would improve the health and lifespan of Americans more than anything else. While he’s right that innovation is key, @Calley Means brought up an important rebuttal:
📉 The Real Problem:
America spends the MOST on healthcare but ranks 42nd in life expectancy. Chronic diseases are skyrocketing, and the root causes are being ignored.
💔 Our Kids Are Suffering:
50% of teens are overweight.
20% have fatty liver disease.
38% are prediabetic.
40% are depressed.
💊 Drugs like Ozempic can stop the bleeding, but they don’t solve the problem.
SSRIs haven’t lowered depression rates.
Statins haven’t stopped heart disease.
Metformin hasn’t reversed diabetes.
And here’s the kicker: chronic disease and obesity are predicted to keep rising, even with drugs being prescribed more.
💡 The Real Crisis:
It’s not just about drugs. The problem lies in:
Addictive, toxic foods engineered to make us sick.
Chemicals in our water, air, and everyday products.
Chronic stress, poor sleep, and sedentary lifestyles.
This is more than a physical crisis—it’s a spiritual one. We’ve lost touch with the connection between our health, the environment, and our well-being.
🌍 The Solution:
Let’s think deeper and act smarter. Here’s what we need:
1️⃣ Affordable drug pricing—Ozempic costs $80/month in Europe but $1,600 in the U.S.
2️⃣ Funding for REAL solutions—food-based interventions, lifestyle coaching, and giving patients the flexibility to work with their doctors on the best path forward.
🤝 We CAN innovate and reverse this crisis while cutting healthcare costs. Healthier people mean a healthier economy.
💬 Your Turn:
Do you agree that chronic disease solutions start with addressing root causes, not just prescribing more meds? Let’s push for change—share this if you’re ready to fight for REAL solutions!
