"From a distinguished career at Presbyterian Hospital as a cardiac surgeon, inventor of the Mitra Clip for open-heart surgery, professor of surgery at Columbia University, TV show host and favorite of Oprah Winfrey to becoming the 17th US Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz has been in the public eye for most of his life."
"Dr. Oz recently came under fire when discussing the mental health initiative he had collaborated on with HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr. and about how improved health through better diets and other lifestyle habits would allow for less need for drugs and other treatments. When asked about how a number of new upgrades to the Medicare and Medicaid systems, including the use of AI, will be paid for, let alone be kept solvent, Oz mentioned that delaying retirement by just one year could cumulatively generate trillions in GDP annually to help cover that cost."
"The dual issues of US healthcare affordability and efficacy are of paramount importance to many Americans. HHS Secretary Kennedy has flipped the script on his predecessors' protocols by taking a proactive, lead by example approach. Emphasizing pre-emptive measures towards maintaining health with a "lead by example" approach, he has taken on Big Pharma, the processed food industry, and a range of other special interests."
Dr. Mehmet Oz moved from a cardiac surgery career and medical innovation to become the 17th Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
