This week, Pfizer quietly touts its willingness to find a cure for Alzheimer’s. According to reports in the New York Daily News, Pfizer is currently seeking a $6 billion windfall from the U.S. government through health officials under the National Institute on Aging (NIA).

Just before Pfizer made its plea public, Gov. Bobby Jindal announced that his administration had authorized $10.5 million to support research into Alzheimer’s disease. The announcement makes sense—pivoting from healthcare insurance to Medicaid coverage has one obvious benefit: It puts an end to the $17.5 billion per year spent on the struggling program, which took the state about 500 million dollars last year alone. One of the proposed programs will save the state hundreds of millions more.

Well, if you’re desperate for a way out of your current mess, that’s really nice.

Here’s the bottom line: People are dying every single day in this nation, and it’s something our nation can no longer take.

It’s true that if we don’t now reverse what’s happening to this great country, we’re going to lose the option of driving down America’s mountains and rolling prairies. (We hope, because we’d love to have another highway to be able to ride down to Yellowstone to go drive over and over again!) And when we talk about the option of riding down into different parts of the nation, we’re talking about all kinds of different terrain and weather patterns.

And how do you imagine that not doing so might actually make you more resilient toward the future?

Because the very act of deciding to be at war with your own body is a common thread throughout history. By entering into that battle, you were ultimately choosing to fight for what you thought was right.

And perhaps the most famous of such people is Elie Wiesel, whose work on Auschwitz ended his days with the only distinction he ever received.
