As President Joe Biden stumped in Ohio for his massive $6 trillion budget proposal on Thursday, he made a veiled, if perplexing, threat: If the nation doesn’t enact a sweeping plan like the one outlined in his budget, America’s hospitals will be filled to overflowing with patients suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease.
“If we do not do something about Alzheimer’s in America, every single, solitary hospital bed that exists in America — as the nurses can tell you — every single one will be occupied in the next 15 years with an Alzheimer’s patient,” Biden told a crowd at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland. “Every. One. Costing us in excess of a trillion dollars.”
