Recommendations

“this program and and should be shut down. measuring blood pressure is done in inept, incapable ways so that true measurements are not ever taken. blood pressure needs the right jacket for your arm, as well as multiple measurements can be taken and should be taken on the legs. inaccurate blood pressure measurements are taken most of the time. typically they are taken pell mell with no reasl urge to real professionalism in taking them. they are taken on the run, in haste without care so they mean n othing. hypertension is being challenged as are these blood pressure readings. they are not accurate. we are spending millions of dollars and getting haste and inaccuracy in return. I oppose spending money on contests and games. I donot think that turning health care into a game helps anybody. out tax dollars are ending up helping nobody's health. ths program needs shut down. we need more downsizing in govt and more thinking before we start up these programs again. we get the same old crap over and over instead of new methods, new technology, 'new accuracy in these programs. this agency gets an f minus for its work in health. it is sadly lacking and causing deaths every day.”
