Poor Health: Assumptions, Facts, Opportunities | Abdul El-Sayed | TEDxUofM

How do social and economic factors influence health outcomes? Dr. Abdul El-Sayed explores these issues of unequal health and describes how public health can be leveraged to disrupt intergenerational poverty.
Dr. El-Sayed is an internationally recognized expert in health policy, social determinants of health, and health inequalities.
He is currently a candidate for governor of Michigan. He previously served as the Health Officer and Executive Director of the Detroit Health Department. Under Dr. El-Sayed’s leadership, Detroit emerged as a state and national leader in public health innovation, with major initiatives to reduce infant mortality, promote vision access, and integrate early childhood services. His work on urban health policy has been featured by The New York Times, The Guardian, CNN, Al-Jazeera, and The Hill.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    He's got my vote for Governor of Michigan. It's about time we actually had an opportunity to vote for someone who values and cares for people. Abdul is a Rhodes Scholar, earning a doctorate from Oxford University and a medical degree from Columbia University. As a public health professor, Abdul became an internationally recognized expert in health policy and health inequalities. Being a Doctor with a brilliant education, he knows the health care system and is for Medicare-for-all. El-Sayed’s detailed policy proposals are one of the main reasons national progressives say he’s the real deal. In addition to single-payer, he’s rolled out pages of additional plans for improving the state’s schools, investing in green jobs and rural broadband, and fixing the state’s infrastructure.

    Don't ever say you weren't warned-'He IS on his way' He IS being groomed. Etch this man's name in your mind. His name is Abdul El-Sayed. After years of being groomed by George Soros. He has been hand-picked by the Left to be their next “champion” of Hope and Change. He is 32 years old, born in the USA, and an extremely well educated Muslim Doctor in Detroit Michigan. (education funded by Soros) He is handsome, articulate, charismatic and smart. He is sympathetic of the Muslim Brotherhood, and is running for Governor of Michigan, Which is Step 1 in his preparation to run for President of the United States He has the potential to be Obama #2, but far more openly Muslim. Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is an American physician, epidemiologist, public health advocate, and politician. He has announced his candidacy for Governor of Michigan, running as a Democrat. Wikipedia: Born: October 31, 1984 (age 32), Michigan Awards: Rhodes Scholarship; Paul and Daisy Soros; Fellowships for New; Americans Education: University of Michigan, Ann; Arbor (BA); Oriel College, Oxford (MA, PhD); Columbia University (MD) Political party: Democratic Party. In 2020 he will be eligible to run for President! Democrats' mouths are watering in anticipation and raising money. Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren is already campaigning for him. Another Trojan Horse? Al Jazeera, which is widely read by Michigan's large Muslim population is doing its best to help George make him "YOUR" president in 2020! Google: Abdul El-Sayed-Soros Bet you never dreamed an unknown, like Obama, would end up as the President of the United States of America FOR 8 YEARS, did you? DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN, AGAIN. FORWARD TO ALL MANY TIMES. We don't want to make the same mistake...a 2nd time!! Be Aware!

    nahla kuhn : Thanks for the warning. Honestly, I'd rather have a auto mechanic work on my vehicle than than a pizzeria owner. He (Abdul) may not have America(ns) in mind as you have suggested. Maybe, maybe not, But I really don't think this real-estate developer has all of America at heart either. I see what's he giving. The turnout is yet to occur. He can take credit for the moves of the past presidency, let's see if he wants credit for his. Thanks again. May peace prevail.

    While I do understand that environment and socioeconomic factors play a huge role in our health. I still believe that if you want it bad enough and if it's important enough you can still be healthier. Maybe not the epitome of health but enough to improve your over all health. it's about doing the best you can given the circumstances at hand. Again, not discrediting anyone but it's more of a question of will and how much your health REALLY matters to you. We can't be victims of our circumstances all the time.

Everyone on the news acts like this is a new problem discovered right now, with COVID-19... brilliant people have been begging people to listen & people haven't heard them because of politics, race, status or some form of discrimination. This proves the very point he is trying to make in all of his lectures.
