馃毃 The Health Crisis No One is Talking About 馃毃
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鈥檚 right that innovation is key, @Calley Means brought up an important rebuttal:
馃搲 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.
馃挃 Our Kids Are Suffering:
50% of teens are overweight.
20% have fatty liver disease.
38% are prediabetic.
40% are depressed.
馃拪 Drugs like Ozempic can stop the bleeding, but they don鈥檛 solve the problem.
SSRIs haven鈥檛 lowered depression rates.
Statins haven鈥檛 stopped heart disease.
Metformin hasn鈥檛 reversed diabetes.
And here鈥檚 the kicker: chronic disease and obesity are predicted to keep rising, even with drugs being prescribed more.
馃挕 The Real Crisis:
It鈥檚 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鈥攊t鈥檚 a spiritual one. We鈥檝e lost touch with the connection between our health, the environment, and our well-being.
馃實 The Solution:
Let鈥檚 think deeper and act smarter. Here鈥檚 what we need:
1锔忊儯 Affordable drug pricing鈥擮zempic costs $80/month in Europe but $1,600 in the U.S.
2锔忊儯 Funding for REAL solutions鈥攆ood-based interventions, lifestyle coaching, and giving patients the flexibility to work with their doctors on the best path forward.
馃 We CAN innovate and reverse this crisis while cutting healthcare costs. Healthier people mean a healthier economy.
馃挰 Your Turn:
Do you agree that chronic disease solutions start with addressing root causes, not just prescribing more meds? Let鈥檚 push for change鈥攕hare this if you鈥檙e ready to fight for REAL solutions!
