Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Vivek: Kicked out of DOGE? Elon Beef? Trump Relationship and More

Yeah, I think that seems fair to me. But I feel like you were going to say something else. I don't think we, as a country, generally like murders and robbers hiding in churches.

I think, I mean, at state level, so most health care is certainly Medicare. It's a federal program. Medicaid administration and also... even thinking about basic things like school health, right? Implementation of physical education. The best way to save on healthcare costs, just to say the blunt truth, is actually make sure people are more healthy.

So if you're able to, if people have better health outcomes, this is one of the areas where usually it's a trade-off with how much money do you put in to get an outcome, and then do you trade off a bad outcome for more cost? That's how most things in life work. When it comes to designing a health system, it doesn't work that way. The healthier people are, the more money you actually end up saving.

So when you look at the quality of food served in public schools, that's a state government item. When you look at the quality of early physical education, which I talked about earlier in a different context, but it applies here too, I think that's really freaking important. We used to measure early physical education outcomes.

Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Vivek: Kicked out of DOGE? Elon Beef? Trump Relationship and More

I brought up the example of the presidential fitness test and people that may be a little bit hardcore for middle school or whatever, but I'm not wedded to one particular example. But from an early age, making physical excellence and the pursuit of physical excellence a worthy goal that we not only implement, but measure.

You only excel in what you measure in our public school system starting at a young age, I think is strictly a good thing. And so those are areas where it's not a panacea, but you're thinking over the long run, you're not going to see it show up in the next year.

But 10 years later, in terms of both bringing down cost and reducing the need for higher costs to be able to pursue good health, those are great things to start doing at a young age is taking a look at the quality of food going into school cafeterias and to take a hard look at measuring and implementing physical education as something that we prize and actually celebrate and prioritize and measure and think about even merit-based outcomes for teachers and school systems.
