RFK Jr. Exposes America’s Health Catastrophe in Powerful Opening Statement

“Today, Americans’ overall health is in grievous condition. Over 70% of adults and a third of children are overweight or obese.”

“Diabetes is 10 times more prevalent than it was during the 1960s. Cancer among young people is rising by 1 or 2% a year. Autoimmune diseases, neurodevelopmental disorders, Alzheimer’s, asthma, ADHD, depression, addiction, and a host of other physical and mental health conditions are all on the rise, some of them exponentially.”

“The United States has worse health than any other developed nation. Yet we spend more on health care, at least double and in some cases triple, as other countries. Last year, we spent $4.8 trillion, not counting the indirect cost of missed work.”

“A healthy person has a thousand dreams. A sick person has only one. Today, over half of our countrymen and women are chronically ill.”
