When it comes to protecting the health care of millions of Americans, my guest tonight

is dedicated to not only stopping the abuse and fraud in the health care industry, but is also

working tirelessly to achieve President Donald Trump and Department of Health

and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr.'s vision to make America healthy again.

My good friend, Dr. Mimitt Oz, serves as the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid,

which is the federal agency that provides health coverage to more than a hundred and sixty million through Medicare, Medicaid, and Children's Health Insurance Program and the Health Insurance Marketplace.

CMS works in partnership with the entire healthcare community to improve quality, equity,

and outcomes in the healthcare system.

So Dr. Oz, thank you for joining me.

One of the things that most people don't know about you is you did go to medical school, of course, but you also

went to the Wharton School of Business.

And that, I think, is saving this country's medical system.

In addition to your medical expertise, having that business acumen has led to what I think is going to save our medical system

from going bankrupt. I think the things you're doing are making a huge difference.

Well, you're kind to say that. I appreciate all the support that you've given throughout

your years. I was just getting people talk honesty with each other about stuff that matters. So the reason that I wanted to accept your invitation besides my affinity for you,

and we came through the same gauntlet of training, is that the kinds of problems we're facing

in health care are ones that force us to come to grips with a lie we've been telling ourselves. And that lie is a big one. It's that it's not your fault. You know, you don't have any control of your future. You don't have any agency. It's bad stuff that's happened. And when other bad things are happening, you don't have to be accountable for it. And that ranges from personal health issues. You're getting wrong.

They're not dealing with the people in your life that you should be helping and just get them to

realize that they do matter. And now we've gotten to a place where in America, we are paying

for things that your family used to do for you. The problem with that, Phil, is if I'm trying

to pay for hernius, I got a lot
