In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore what would happen if wellness, personal agency, and spiritual values were placed at the heart of healthcare policy. We look at the Maha Alliance, the corruption of Big Food and Big Pharma, and the role of media in empowering change.

Prior Auth Reform Pledge and What Comes Next On June 23, 2025, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz announced a voluntary pledge from major U.S. health insurers to reform prior authorization (PA) processes. This initiative aims to reduce administrative burdens and improve timely access to care for millions of Americans. On this episode, we delve into the specifics of the announcement, examine the historical context of prior authorization reforms, and discuss the real-world implications for healthcare providers and patients. We'll also explore how these changes align with ongoing conversations we're having with clients and what steps providers can take to prepare for the evolving landscape.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 145: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45): Trump self-destructs over the Epstein files: now calls his supporters “weaklings” calls Republicans “stupid” for believing the Epstein story HE sold them, now demands reporters don’t cover it, and demands MAGA stops talking about it. And now - most meaningfully - HE is connecting his Epstein Cover-up to his Russia Collusion Cover-up and continually tying Epstein to "The Steele Dossier." And what was the most grotesque part of the Steele Dossier story? Sexual perversion. Video. Blackmail. Trump is himself tying himself and Epstein to the purported pee tape! And that nauseating link and amazing implications (which he alone is making) are on top of the established reality: Donald Trump is president of the Jeffrey Epstein cover-up.Trump is RUNNING the Jeffrey Epstein cover-up. It’s TRUMP’S Jeffrey Epstein cover-up! President Pervert. President Epstein. President Pee Tape. President Pedophile. President cover-up. "TRUMP’S EPSTEIN COVER-UP" - I want to hear that every day, from a leading Democrat. Every day and SIX TIMES on Sunday. Forever. I’m delighted Trump is destroying himself; I want Democrats to finish the job. I want it to destroy MAGA. I want it to bury them all, under a mountain of their own amoral, uncaring, "bullshit" – the word Trump just used in an enraged screed against his own MAGA "weaklings" whose support he now claims he no longer wants. Is pursuing this Shapiro-Steele story disgusting? Yes. Is it sleazy? Yes. Is it what the Trumpist scum would do? Yes. Is it a terrible way to prevent dictatorship and terror? What? There are RULES here? No, there are no rules. Pick up the damn tire iron. This is democracy-saving gold. Every. Damn. Day. Trump's the one who did this. He's the one who has now linked whatever he's choosing to do in covering up the Epstein story, to whatever there was in the Steele Dossier that would destroy him. He's the one who... crossed the streams. B-Block (32:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Homeland Security Spokesman Micah Bock with a cleverly phrased bit of dishonesty which actually says Texans calling FEMA during the floods had the same chance of getting through as people buying tickets have of winning the lottery. Mehmet Oz, whose senate bid crashed over crudités, now sees his Medicare disembowlin rationalization not cut it over carrot cake, and what trophies did soccer mogul Gianna Infantino let Trump walk away with this time? C-Block (42:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Twenty years, almost to the day, since I quit smoking and began my MSNBC campaign to get others to quit, too. Which the PRESIDENT of MSNBC naturally responded to...by trying to kill me.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While the Congressional Budget Office says as many as twelve million people could lose health insurance due to Medicaid cuts in the President's "big, beautiful bill," the Trump administration defends work requirements and cuts for cost savings. Their goal is to reform the system, removing non-disabled recipients from Medicaid. Despite Democrats' concerns, these cuts won't take effect until the end of next year. Director of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz joins the Rundown to explain the need to address waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid to ensure those who need it most receive health care. Last week, the largest illegal immigration raid of President Donald Trump's second term occurred, resulting in the detention of over 360 individuals at two marijuana farms in California. Among those detained were several convicted felons and 14 children. Former acting ICE Director and former federal prosecutor Jonathan Fahey joins us to discuss the raids and the ongoing legal issues surrounding immigration. Plus, commentary from New York Post columnist and co-author of "Stolen Youth," Karol Markowicz. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Recently, Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak sent out an email seeking to debunk what she describes as myths when it comes to proposed changes to the Medicaid program. She argues that the program isn't being cut, but rather just being slowed in its growth. But wherever you come down on that debate, the fact that she's prompted to make these arguments is politically significant. On this episode of Plain Talk, my co-host Chad Oban and I talked about that, in the context of one of Fedorchak's predecessors, former Rep. Earl Pomeroy, trying to explain his vote in favor of Obamacare. Oban pointed out that while Fedorchak is disputing the claims that Medicaid is being cut, some Republicans, including Mehmet Oz, the Trump administration's administrator for Medicare and Medicaid services, are calling them cuts. "The problem that she has is it's not just people like me who are saying it's Medicaid cuts," Oban said. "You're like, well, these aren't cuts, but when someone on your own side is referring to them as cuts, you're losing that war," he continued. We also discussed the NDGOP's on-going District 25 debacle, and what the proposed sell-off of federal lands means for Interior Secretary Doug Burgum's political trajectory. Also on this episode, Matt Briney, chief communications officer for the Theodore Roosevelt President Library, talks about the progress on the project. "We're looking forward to welcoming everybody July 4th, 2026 when we will open to the public." Public funding for the project has drawn some criticism, but Briney pointed out that only "about 11% of the project is funded from state funds" and that the library organizqation hasn't had to touch a $70 million line of credit made available by the state. He also detailed some of the features visitors will be able to explore next year. "We're going to take you into the White House. TR's White House. Not the White House that we know today, but TR's White House. So, it's going to have the full kind of look and feel replica of being in there," he said, adding that the library will leverage artificial intelligence technology to make simulated conversations with Roosevelt possible. "You're actually going to be able to talk to TR and TR is going to talk back to you," Briney said. "And that's where we're we're leveraging new technologies from Microsoft...where you can have actual conversations in a group setting with him."

The show opens with me wondering where all of the headlines are regarding Iran intentionally targeting and hitting a hospital in Israel. I remember when the propaganda spread by Hamas suggested an Israeli missile hit a hospital in Gaza and the whole of Western media lost their collective minds repeating the lie. Speaking of hospitals, I spend time reminding you of a story of a whistleblower who helped to expose radical trans surgeries taking place at Texas Children's Hospital. This rolls into more discussion over the SCOTUS decision to protect children and how that decision relates to the Cass Review that came out in April of 2024. Suddenly, all the bought-and-paid-for protesters are holding signs in support of Iran. It's amazing what millions of dollars can do when renting a mob full of useful idiots. Miranda Devine weighs-in on more FBI emails being released showing how Joe Biden's DOJ was obsessed with finding new ways to pile on charges on Donald Trump. Remember how I keep telling you the Democrat plan was always to flood the country with illegals and then convert them to citizens? Well, Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) just came out and made that statement as clear as day. Dr. Mehmet Oz sat with CNN's Jake Tapper to discuss the needed changes in Medicaid. It's amazing how the Left still doesn't understand how the Trump administration is trying to save the program by removing the fraudsters and the abusers. Dr. Theodore Wold testified before Congress about the use of the auto-pen. He reveals serious concerns about the Constitutional crisis the Biden staffers created. Finally, AG Pam Bondi is suing Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) for allowing illegals to pay less for college tuition, once again putting Americans last. And, the US Navy has met their recruitment goals 3 months ahead of the end of the fiscal year. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

What if I told you that America spends twice as much on healthcare as any other developed country, yet our life expectancy keeps declining? In this conversation with Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator of CMS, I explore why we're getting sicker despite spending more. Dr. Oz reveals alarming childhood obesity statistics, how loneliness drives healthcare costs, and why one in four children are pre-diabetic. This exposes the fundamental disconnect between healthcare spending and actual health outcomes every American needs to understand! Ready to take back control of your cellular biology?

Some of the sickest Medicare Advantage patients ran into problems getting end-of-life care. Ultimately many patients switched to traditional Medicare, costing taxpayers billions, according to an investigation by the Wall Street Journal. This is one of many Medicare Advantage practices that is now under government scrutiny. Both Congress and Medicare agency head Dr. Mehmet Oz are pushing for reforms to curb tactics that can boost federal payments to private insurers. The Department of Justice is also investigating major private insurance companies UnitedHealth, Aetna, Elevance Health and Humana. Jessica Mendoza discusses the investigations with WSJ's Anna Wilde Mathews. Further Listening: -Medicare, Inc.

And senior legal affairs reporter Kyle Cheney joins to discuss the showdown between Trump and the courts over his “Liberation Day” tariffs. 

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: Driven by his subliterate vulgar Darwinian unto eugenicist belief system, Kennedy, in concert with Mehmet Oz, the Trump administration's head of Medicare and Medicaid, wants to import a diseased flock of birds to the United States and turn them loose on a ranch owned by Dr. Oz in Florida.

The name of the biopharma game this season is vaccines—and RFK Jr. wasted no time returning from Memorial Day Weekend before making news on this front, removing the COVID-19 vaccine from the list of recommended immunizations for healthy kids and pregnant women on Tuesday. This follows a rash of recent moves, including a new risk-based strategy for the approval of new COVID vaccines focused on adults over 65 and high-risk individuals six months to 64 years of age and a request that Moderna and partners Pfizer and BioNTech update the myocarditis risk on their vaccines' labels.This increased vaccine scrutiny by the FDA and Department of Health and Human Services is having a significant impact on biopharma companies, several of whom have received stop-work orders on next-gen COVID vaccines. Meanwhile, Moderna last week pulled the biological license application for its combination COVID-19/flu vaccine, anticipating a request for additional data on flu shot efficacy from the FDA, as mRNA technology continues to be scrutinized after playing the hero during the pandemic. Also last week, the White House released its Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) report, which took aim at vaccines, along with pharma lobbying and GLP-1s.Also on the policy front, a California judge issued an order Thursday that indefinitely stops HHS' goal of reducing its divisions from 28 to 15 and firing upwards of 10,000 employees, among other reorganization and mass layoff plans. And speaking of government plays that could receive judicial pushback, we received a couple of new updates on the Most Favored Nation (MFN) front: first, President Donald Trump appointed his CMS chief Mehmet Oz as the leader of drug pricing negotiations, calling him “one tough hombre,” and second, HHS provided new guidance for streamlining the process for states to import drugs from Canada.In the obesity realm, Eli Lilly is calling out the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. In an open letter last week, Lilly voiced its displeasure with the agency for a final ruling that left its Zepbound and Novo Nordisk's Wegovy out of Medicare Advantage and Part D coverage in 2026.And in the R&D realm, we returned from the long weekend to sad news from Rocket Pharmaceuticals, as the company reported that its pivotal Danon disease trial is on hold after the death of a young patient. The death—extremely sad on a human level—is also a setback for the gene therapy space, which had been buoyed earlier this month by the success of a personalized CRISPR treatment received by baby KJ.Finally, BioSpace looks ahead to ASCO#25 where Dan Samorodnitsky will be on the ground in Chicago.

Co-founder and co-chairman of the Carlyle Group David Rubenstein addresses President Trump's latest social media post threatening a 25% tariff on Apple iPhones made outside the U.S., as well as the bond market and the ongoing tension between America's Ivy League institutions and the Oval Office. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz explains his perspective on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s “Make America Healthy Again” effort and proposed changes to Medicaid work requirements and SNAP benefits. Plus, President Trump hosted a dinner with top holders of the $TRUMP meme coin, and the Supreme Court ruled that the President could fire some leaders of independent federal agencies. However, SCOTUS strongly suggested that terminations at the Federal Reserve would be handled differently.  MacKenzie Sigalos - 08:16David Rubenstein - 19:49Dr. Mehmet Oz - 41:54 In this episode:Dr. Mehmet Oz, @DrOzCMSDavid Rubenstein, @DM_RubensteinMacKenzie Sigalos, @KenzieSigalosBecky Quick, @BeckyQuickJoe Kernen, @JoeSquawkAndrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinKatie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie

A Note from James:So Dr. Oz—television personality turned government official—this is such an interesting thing. He's going to be the new administrator of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, CMS. He's going to be in charge of all Medicare and Medicaid. What does he know or think about these parts of our government?Medicare and Medicaid, combined with Social Security, make up the biggest part of government spending. So it'd be interesting to know what he thinks. On his show, he'd talk about everything from medicine to alternative medicine to other healing methods. I want to know how he's going to handle things in the government.This is a republishing of a past podcast I did with Dr. Oz, but it still describes his approach to medicine. And I think, as a citizen, this is useful. That's why I wanted to share it again.

In this episode, Scott Becker covers seven major healthcare stories, from layoffs at Washington Health System and Penn Medicine to policy changes, hospital consolidations, and leadership updates—including Dr. Mehmet Oz's CMS confirmation progress.

The Senate Finance Committee just advanced the nomination of Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), bringing his confirmation one step closer to reality.

It's Friday, March 21st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 1,300 people killed in Syria last week More than 1,300 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the past week in Syria, reports Open Doors. The BBC reported that a UK-based monitor has identified that “830 civilians were killed in ‘massacres' targeting Alawites on the west coast on Friday and Saturday.” Based in the Middle East, the Alawites are a sect of Islam that venerates a Muslim imam known as Ali. Former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, known for his brutal dictatorship, is an Alawite himself, as was his father. The recent violence began with pro-Assad forces who attacked soldiers associated with the new government of Syria. Isaiah 59:7 says, “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” Although the violence doesn't seem to be targeting Syrian Christians, followers of Jesus are scared in the midst of the violence. That's why on Sunday, March 9, many churches did not hold their Sunday services. Trump dismantles Department of Education President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to start dismantling the Department of Education. TRUMP: “Today we take a very historic action that was 45 years in the making. In a few moments, I will sign an Executive Order to begin eliminating the Federal Department of Education once and for all. (applause) Everybody knows it's right.” Immediately after the signing, Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, the chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said in a post on X that he will “submit legislation” to accomplish Trump's goal of shutting down the Department of Education “as soon as possible.” Attorney General Pam Bondi investigating Tesla attacks as terrorism On Tuesday morning, five Tesla vehicles were set on fire in Las Vegas with Molotov cocktails and shot with a gun at a Tesla Collision Center.  That was the tenth such attack on Teslas since Trump's inauguration on January 20th, reports Fox News.  The Left has also violently targeted Teslas or Tesla dealerships in Salem, Oregon, Loveland, Colorado, Owings Mills, Maryland, Littleton, Massachusetts, Tigard, Oregon, North Charlston, South Carolina, Seattle, Washington, Dedham, Massachusetts, and Kansas City, Missouri. Attorney General Pam Bondi called the recent spate of arson attacks and vandalism against Tesla vehicles "nothing short of domestic terrorism" and promised harsh punishments for perpetrators if they are caught, reports ABC News. There's been a clear uptick in attacks on Teslas and Tesla dealerships since President Donald Trump took office and empowered Elon Musk to oversee a new Department of Government Efficiency that's slashing government spending. Appearing on Fox News, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was direct. LEAVITT: “President Trump condemns this violence. He is determined to restore law and order in our country, and he will ensure that the harshest penalties are pursued for those who are engaging in this vicious violence that we have seen targeted at this American company, Tesla, dealerships, Tesla employees and also innocent Americans who have chosen to drive these vehicles, many of them, ironically, are likely Democrats. “There is a major double standard here. The Democrats used to be the greatest cheerleaders for electric vehicles and for Tesla, the company, until Elon Musk decided to support and vote for Donald Trump. “So, the Trump Derangement Syndrome from the Left is on true display with these attacks. It is getting dangerous, and the White House wholeheartedly condemns it, and we applaud Attorney General Pam Bondi for investigating these acts as domestic terrorism, because that is what they are.” Will Dr. Oz support abortion and transgenderism now? Senate confirmation proceedings are underway for Dr. Mehmet Oz, President Donald Trump's choice for Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator. Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri is seeking answers about the TV personality's past liberal stances on abortion and transgender issues, reports LifeSiteNews.com. As recently as 2019, Oz had attacked abortion bans because he disputed that the heartbeat begins at six weeks gestation despite scientific proof. Appearing on The Breakfast Club radio show, Oz also indicated that fetal viability was the only reasonable benchmark for gestational protection. OZ: “If the child was viable outside the womb, then you don't want to kill that child. If the child was not going to be able to survive outside the mom, then the mom runs the show. This is a hard issue for everybody. I get it. But just being logical about it, if you think that the moment of conception, you've got a life, then why would you even wait six weeks?” Later, Dr. Oz made this remark. OZ: “If someone, deep in their heart, feels that the moment of conception is a human life, and they just can't deal with that life being harmed, they got to be heard. They can't get ignored. But that doesn't mean that's what the rule of the land is.” Plus, in 2010, Oz emerged as a critical, early backer of “transitioning” gender-confused minors, running an hour-long special about “transgender children” that promoted a 15-year-old girl who had undergone a double mastectomy at age 14 and an eight-year-old boy being raised as a girl named “Josie.” Over the course of his 2022 Senatorial campaign, Oz backtracked on both issues, declaring himself “100% Pro-Life” and denying that he supported transitioning minors, claiming that his hosting of the opposite position did not constitute endorsement. Steve Lawson: “I have sinned grievously.” And finally, former Pastor Steven Lawson, age 73, a prominent figure in the Reformed/Calvinist movement, has acknowledged that he has “sinned grievously,” speaking out for the first time about the September 20th scandal that removed him from ministry, reports The Christian Post.  Once a teaching fellow at Ligonier Ministries and the dean of Doctor of Ministry Studies at The Master's Seminary, Lawson, a married man, allegedly had a 5-year affair with a woman in her late 20s. In a series of now-deleted X posts, Phil Johnson, Director of Grace to You with John MacArthur, said last September that Lawson only informed the elders at Trinity Bible Church after "the girl's father had confronted Steve and threatened exposure. This was not a noble confession.” In an X post this past Wednesday, Lawson wrote: “I have sinned grievously against the Lord, against my wife, my family, and against countless numbers of you by having a sinful relationship with a woman not my wife. I am deeply broken that I have betrayed and deceived my wife, devastated my children, brought shame to the name of Christ, reproach upon His church, and harm to many ministries.” Lawson added, “I have been undergoing extensive counseling for the last five months to face the hard questions I need to address. I have dealt with sin issues that have been painfully exposed in my heart. I have submitted myself in weekly accountability to two pastors and to the elders of a local congregation, who have shepherded my soul.” 1 Timothy 3:1-2 says, “Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, March 21st, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Oz, with his long history in television, was as polished as one would expect, brushing off even some more controversial parts of his past with apparent ease.

Mehmet Oz is President Donald Trump's pick to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a massive agency that oversees health coverage for more than 100 million Americans, including older adults, those with low incomes and children. Oz is a cardiothoracic surgeon and former professor at Columbia University who became a household name when he started appearing on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in 2004 and then hosted his own show, “The Dr. Oz Show,” from 2009 to 2022. On Friday, Oz will face federal lawmakers in a Senate hearing as he seeks confirmation to run CMS, an agency that has a more than trillion-dollar budget and could face spending cuts in the budget year ahead. Today on “Post Reports,” health accountability reporter Lauren Weber explains why he may face questions about his past, his investments and possible conflicts of interest.Today's show was produced by Elana Gordon.
