More People Are Getting Health Insurance, and Vitamin D Still Doesn't Help

The video discusses two main topics: the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and a study on Vitamin D supplementation. The ACA has significantly reduced the uninsured rate in the U.S., especially in states that fully embraced the law. The Vitamin D study, however, found no significant benefits in bone health or functional outcomes for postmenopausal women with Vitamin D deficiency. The video concludes with a call for viewer support through Patreon.
