00:00The question to you is, if it really is fundamental to what you believe, how do you live with that?

00:04How do you address those issues as you're moving forward, knowing that it's going to harm Americans?

00:10You want me to answer the question?

00:12No, I'm asking you.

00:14Okay. President Trump has asked me to end the chronic disease epidemic and make America healthy again.

00:22So is that the only reason why you're at HHS?

00:26Is that the only reason why you're at the HHS to address that one issue?

00:30President Trump has asked me, because I'm in a unique position, to end that.

00:34And that is what I'm doing.

00:38And if we don't solve that problem, Senator, all of the other disputes we have about who's paying,

00:45whether it's insurance companies, whether it's providers, whether it's HMOs, whether it's patients or families,

00:55all of those are moving deck chairs around on the Titanic.

00:58Our ship is sinking.

01:00Our 60% increase in Medicaid over the past four years is the biggest budget line now.

01:09And it's growing faster than any other.

01:11And no other nation in the world has what we have here.

01:14No other nation has chronic disease.

01:16We have the highest chronic disease burden of any country in the world.

01:21During COVID, we had 16% of the COVID deaths in a country.

01:26We only have 4.2% of the world's population.

01:28We had a higher death count than any country in the world.

01:31And when CDC was asked why, they said it's because Americans are the sickest people on earth.

01:38The average person who died from COVID, American, had 3.8 chronic diseases.

01:45This is an existential threat economically, to our military, to our health, to our sense of well-being.

01:51And it is a priority for President Trump.

01:54And that's why he asked me to run the agency.

01:58And if I'm privileged to be confirmed, that's exactly what I'll do.
