You're on The Bird Show.

I'm excited because the first time he was out with this, I wasn't here.

I actually think I was out sick.

Oh, that's right.

Oddly enough.

But everybody in here has been raving about it. Dr. Oz's back on the Bird Show. Hey, Dr. Oz. Good morning. Burke. Good to finally meet you. Burt's in the back of the room laid up with a bum knee. Yeah, we've got a lot of things run by you today, man. Since the last time we talk to you, I ripped my ACL and my meniscus. Jen Hobby here has had a cold for the last 10 days that she

can't shake also. So you're talking about a morning show that's operating at about 78% right now.

And what's your co-pay like? Yeah. Yeah, this is a good day to be talking to you because of the health care reform in the

past last night.

That's right.

Have you commented publicly on whether you're a fan of this or would like to see it

done differently?

Well, I'm not going to get into the actual bill itself,

and it's understanding of controversial because it's got so many different aspects to it

that could please or displease folks.

But I've got to say, I don't think any health care bill is going to work long-term

unless we're able to change the health of America.

Because, you know, we're fighting about a health care bill,

but it's the care of health that we've so lost sight of, I think. And obesity being a good example, if we're unable to affect some of the changes, maybe 15, 20% of the health care bill, what that obesity does, none of these bills are going to be able to make a solvent because they'll all go bankrupt at the end of the day. And I think it's a much more profound challenge we have in America than how we're going to pay for the insurance,

is how to make it so the people aren't sick so they don't need the insurance.

I agree with that.

Hey, Dr. Oz, we're going to get right to the questions because these are great.
