Why aren't Americans among the healthiest people in the world? Why are some Americans so much healthier than others? What can be done to create opportunities for all Americans to live long and healthy lives?

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Commission to Build a Healthier America has spent the last two years investigating solutions outside the medical care system for advancing the nation's health. Carole Simpson, a Commissioner and former ABC anchor, narrates this video describing what the Commission learned during its journey across the country to answer the question: why aren't Americans healthy in the first place?

  • If everyone in america began to get healthy there would be no America as we know today.There are lots of people that are employed because there are sick people and many are also employed by all of the unhealthy places that people choose to eat at and this is the America that I have always known.We may be free but it is proven that most free societies are among the unhealthies.
