Now Paul’s wife, Stephanie Spencer, an RN for the last 25 years in heart care. Healthy diets best way to keep patients out of cardiac wards. Medicare doesn’t cover dietary interventions; does cover extremely costly post-heart-disease treatmentspic.twitter.com/m6MyufKHZR
Putting patients in a pilot program of diet and exercise saved $18k per person over 3 years. Instead of mopping up water from the floor, turn off the faucet. Have to see food choices in the context of poverty and political root causes
28% of Americans are pre-diabetic. 305k people in Arkansas would become eligible for Medicare reimbursement under Spencer’s proposed fresh fruit and veggie program. Basically, local farmers would deliver fruits and veggies as a medical supply(!)
End result is-you help local farmers, save $200 per person over status quo (due to reduced medical costs)
Andrew LeMay on affordable housing. Arkansas only state without guarantee of habitability, one of 10 states that allows retaliatory eviction. Proposes expanding Section 8 housing to all eligible renters automatically. Federal government needs to step in where Arkansas won’tpic.twitter.com/9t3jNzUPHM
Ferrari Scroggins on restoring black wealth. 2008 financial crisis-black and Hispanic households lost 70%, white 30%. Have to recognize historical barriers to building wealth rooted in racismpic.twitter.com/WGAhN6cl2u
Need to create quality jobs, not just jobs at big box stores. Low interest loans from local banks. Put locally owned storefronts back in communities of color. Stimulate via federally funded urban beautification (not gentrification!) programs
Need universal after school care so kids can get their third meal. Also need to fight voter suppression-allow felons to vote after serving their time, auto-register high school seniors.
Back to Reed, on student debt. He has 80k in loans from just undergrad; federal portion of this is at 6% interest. Average Arkansan has 31k in student debt, not enough earnings to escape debt trap.
Parenthetical-Van Buren County volunteers can’t phone bank because their internet is so bad. Have to print out call sheets they can take to a land line
