With the country facing mounting obesity rates, chronic diseases, and mental health issues, this commission is charged with addressing these concerns right from their roots.
President Donald Trump has officially established the Make America Healthy Again Commission, assigning U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead this significant endeavor.
Tasked with analyzing and addressing the present healthcare landscape, this commission aspires to restore the nation’s health using an integrative, multi-facet approach.
The Commission’s primary objective is to delve into the causes of America’s health decline and prioritize research on childhood chronic diseases.
For decades, Americans have suffered from high rates of obesity, asthma, autism spectrum disorders, and other chronic illnesses which pose threats to our national health and security.
Six in ten adults have at least one chronic condition, while four in ten have two or more.
The U.S. also holds the highest age-standardized cancer rate worldwide, with staggering increases in cases. These alarming statistics necessitate urgent action.
The commission aims to restore public trust in medical and scientific institutions by implementing transparency and integrity in research.
With an initial timeline of 100 days, the commission will produce a comprehensive assessment of childhood chronic disease, including international comparisons.
Following these findings, a strategy to enhance the health of America’s children will be devised within 180 days.
Four policy directives stand at the core of this initiative: upholding transparency in health research, prioritizing the root causes of illness, collaborating with farmers for better food options, and broadening treatment opportunities.
The commission will scrutinize the usage of widespread medications and evaluate mental health interventions, with efforts to rethink health insurance coverage to support lifestyle changes and disease prevention.
The commission will include secretaries from various departments and leaders from the FDA, CDC, and NIH, reflecting a balanced and inclusive approach.
The commission also has a clear commitment: not being influenced by Big Pharma and focusing on genuine health improvements, which, as stated by President Trump, is intended to allow a “safe and healthy childhood” for every American.
“[S]omething is poisoning the American people” is how HHS Secretary Kennedy described the situation, emphasizing the national food supply as a primary cause of chronic illness.
He also argued for informed personal choices regarding food consumption, advocating transparency on health impacts available to every American.
Through public engagements, expert opinions will further guide the commission’s direction.
The newly formed Make America Healthy Again Commission is a step towards ensuring Americans achieve better health outcomes.
The effort begins with tackling the childhood chronic disease crisis and is closely aligned with the promise of making healthcare higher quality and more transparent.
Ultimately, these actions will seek to reverse the troubling trends, aiming for a healthier America, free from unnecessary pharmaceutical influence.
