President Donald Trump and his brilliant team really do think of multiple policies simultaneously, virtually all of which have a refreshing “America First” attitude.
Trump immediately went to work on the most pressing issues facing Americans, in particular illegal immigration and Bidenflation, and he has continued to illustrate his commitment to addressing other wider scale issues across the country.
These issues may not have captured the media’s attention the same way that other issues have, but they are clearly necessary to address for the sake of the American people.
Hence Trump’s “Make America Healthy” Again Commission.
One of the most recent executive orders – “Establishing the President’s Make America Healthy Again Commission” – makes it clear that the president is all in on making America feel even better again, from inside to out.
The order, which may be accessed through this link, outlines the administration’s commitment to improving public health as naturally as possible, without excess reliance on pharmaceuticals or other synthetic solutions.
And to support its points, the order began with several troubling statistics.
“American life expectancy significantly lags behind other developed countries, with pre‑COVID-19 United States life expectancy averaging 78.8 years and comparable countries averaging 82.6 years. This equates to 1.25 billion fewer life years for the United States population,” the order ominously recounted.
Yikes. Not only is that tragic, but it is also a testament to the opportunity costs of failure to ensure strong public health.
“Six in 10 Americans have at least one chronic disease, and four in 10 have two or more chronic diseases. An estimated one in five United States adults lives with a mental illness,” the order continued.
An epidemic that was definitely not improved by the Dems’ draconian policies passed during the COVID pandemic.
Mental illness prevalence has escalated a tad since the era of the long-term lockdowns.
“These health burdens have continued to increase alongside the increased prescription of medication. For example, in the case of Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, over 3.4 million children are now on medication for the disorder – up from 3.2 million children in 2019-2020 – and the number of children being diagnosed with the condition continues to rise,” the order added.
The rising challenges with children definitely originate from the pandemic, which kept many of them trapped inside for prolonged periods.
“These realities become even more painful when contrasted with nations around the globe,” the order noted, citing all the ways in which disease prevalence, from cancer to autoimmune disorders, was higher in the United States relative to Europe and other comparable regions.
“Overall, the global comparison data demonstrates that the health of Americans is on an alarming trajectory that requires immediate action,” the order asserted.
And then the solution unfolded.
“To fully address the growing health crisis in America, we must re-direct our national focus, in the public and private sectors, toward understanding and drastically lowering chronic disease rates and ending childhood chronic disease,” the order announced.
Economic challenges and public health problems solved in one solution. Briliant!
“This includes fresh thinking on nutrition, physical activity, healthy lifestyles, over-reliance on medication and treatments, the effects of new technological habits, environmental impacts, and food and drug quality and safety,” the order continued.
Another outstanding point, especially as nutritious food and exercise opportunities will be available to allAmericans.
The order also noted that “agencies shall work with farmers to ensure that United States food is the healthiest, most abundant, and most affordable in the world,” further tackling the Bidenflation that pervaded too many grocery stores for too long.
Time will tell how successful this order will ultimately be in in terms of achieving its objectives, but it is certainly putting the public back on track towards a healthier, less pharmaceutical-dependent future.
