From expanding patient access to medical records to strengthening primary care and promoting everyday wellness, Dr. Oz shares his vision for a healthier America as administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.

Host Dr. Drew Pinsky introduces Dr. Mehmet Oz as a longtime friend with an extraordinary career—former head of cardiothoracic surgery at Columbia Presbyterian, 13 seasons of a daytime talk show, a U.S. Senate run, and now administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. Dr. Oz calls this the best job he’s had and describes working with a mission-driven team focused on making America healthier. He highlights initiatives such as using technology to give patients access to their medical records, encouraging walking and healthy habits through Medicare email outreach, and improving pay and support for primary care doctors, particularly in rural areas.

He also discusses the role of AI in easing physician workloads, the importance of food choices for long-term health, and the need for evidence-based care. The conversation concludes with Dr. Oz explaining the “MAHA movement,” which he defines as rooted in curiosity, compassion, and bipartisan efforts to help families live healthier lives.
