Keep Americans Covered is a coalition of the health care community dedicated to seeing Congress extend the health care tax credit.

More than 20 million Americans rely on the health care tax credit to buy their health insurance, but the credit will expire at the end of this year.

That means premiums will soon skyrocket if Congress doesn't act.

Millions are counting on Congress to extend the health care tax credit.

Welcome to the conversation with Dasha Burns. I'm Dasha Burns, White House Bureau Chief for Politico,

and every week on this show, I invite one of the most

compelling and sometimes unexpected power players in Washington and beyond in for a chat

to find out how they're navigating and shaping this incredible era of American politics.

This is the first episode of our podcast, and I am thrilled to share it

with you. Today, I'm joined by Dr. Mehmet Oz, heart surgeon, turned celebrity physician,

turned high-ranking Trump administration official. Dr. Oz, once known for his eponymous

daytime talk show, entered the political arena in 2022, running and losing

against John Fetterman for a Pennsylvania Senate seat. And now he's overseeing the nation's

Medicaid and Medicare systems. I wanted to know how he's navigating his new role and the

incredible amount of responsibility that comes with it. Plus, he's somebody

a lot of people think they know, but I wanted to dig in to the man behind the celebrity.

Here's my interview with Dr. Oz.

That's not a right or left issue.

That's not a Republican or Democrat.
