What is the Unity Agenda?
During President Biden’s 2022 State of the Union address, he brought up his Unity Agenda for the Nation – four things Americans “can do together.”
He first wants to tackle and beat the opioid epidemic.
Biden proposed an increase in funding for prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery.
He wants to abolish “outdated rules” that prevent doctors from prescribing treatments for addicts.
The president also wants the nation to address mental health with more concern.
“And let’s get all Americans the mental health services they need,” he said.
“More people they can turn to for help, and full parity between physical and mental health care.”
Biden’s third point: “support our veterans.”
He wants to further explore the toxic environments invoked by the “wastes of war” and its overall effect on veterans’ health.
The fourth and final segment of the Unity Agenda calls for an end to cancer “as we know it.”
“Our goal is to cut the cancer death rate by at least 50 percent over the next 25 years, turn more cancers from death sentences into treatable diseases,” he said.
When was the State of the Union Address?
The State of the Union Address began at 9pm ET on Tuesday, March 1, 2022.
In the United States Constitution, a clause states the president must “give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”
