WEBVTT - Dr Oz Exposes Obamacare 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.840 Hour two Sean Hannity's show, Toll Free are numbers eight 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:05.160 hundred and ninety four one, Sean, if you want to 0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:08.840 be a part of the program. So this Democratic Party 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:13.040 civil war, political civil wars broken out, Calls now for 0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:16.560 Schumer's head getting louder and louder, as we've been discussing today. 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.799 And if you listen to Democrats, you know you would 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:23.160 think that this is all about the Affordable Care Act, 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:28.160 better known as Obamacare, as our friend Mark Simone so 0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:32.240 so brilliantly categorized it yesterday. Well, if it's the Affordable 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.000 Care Act, how come you need subsidies to be able 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.320 to afford it? And remember the Democrats, they're the ones 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.720 that put together this bill during COVID. They're the ones 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:46.520 that designed these extra subsidies who expire to be temporary 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.120 just to get through the pandemic. They're the ones that 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:51.840 tried to die on this hill. But it was more 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.640 than that. It was, you know, hundreds of billions of 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:58.560 dollars for healthcare for illegals. It was funding MPR, it 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:02.880 was funding PBS, that was funding DEI programs abroad one 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:06.920 point five trillion dollars. Forty two days later, and they 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.440 have nothing to show for. But what they're trying to 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.880 now do is spin this into a narrative that is 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:14.000 frankly false. 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:15.800 In a moment, we'll be joined. 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.959 By doctor Oz and he's just going to lay out 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:22.160 the truth and the facts, something that just escapes this 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.880 radical democratic socialist Party and why they'd want to double 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:29.880 down on Obamacare. Millions lost their doctors, millions lost their plans. 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:34.880 Fully forty percent of the country has one Obamacare exchange option, 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.520 usually not very good if you look at the economics 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.840 of it. And I explained this in some detail in 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:45.480 the last hour. The reality is the people that got 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:50.680 got rich, you know, are the insurance company and just 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.920 Thenews dot Com at a big exposee on this, the 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:57.920 subsidies greatly expanded by the Biden administration. But the the 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.800 insurance companies, they're the ones that they've been four underd 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.280 billion dollars on the shutdown of Democrats. Their stock has 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.640 gone up one thousand percent plus since Obamacare has been 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:08.680 in place. 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:10.440 They're the ones that have benefited. 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.720 Here's Hakim Jeffers talking about this issue because they want 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:16.800 to make a pivot to this as though this is 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.040 the defining issue of our time, and it is because 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:21.800 we could do so much better, which we'll get into 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.480 in a minute. Leader Jefferys just very quickly, yes or no? 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:28.200 Do you rule out supporting a bill that would include 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.960 a promise to vote on Obamacare subsidies? 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:31.799 Yes? 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:32.080 Or no. 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:33.640 I don't think that. 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.200 I don't think that the House Democratic Caucus is prepared 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.880 to support a promise, a wing and a prayer from 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.840 folks who have been devastating the healthcare of the American 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.760 people for years. 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.080 Now, what you just heard is an outright lie. 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:54.519 Republicans have better solutions, better ideas, innovative, creative ideas. We've 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.280 talked at length about them on the show. We'll get 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.440 into it with doctor Oz. Here's Chucky Schumer, same topic. 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.560 If you put forward a proposal that we can read 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.520 that you reference in your speech which says a clean 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:10.680 continued resolution with the extension of the ACA, Biden COVID. 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:14.200 Credits Yes, as we spoke yesterday, so there is I 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:15.520 will not be interrupted now. 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.799 My question is there a proposal in writing that we 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:18.200 can read. 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.840 There is a proposal that is very simple. First, you 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:27.240 haven't put your proposed AC your proposed fix to the ACA. 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.360 The new one, which Leader through is spoken about on 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.680 the floor, so we can't give you a counter in writing. 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.800 But it's very simple because we have two sentences. We 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:40.280 would add to any proposal which would extend the ACA 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:44.360 benefits for one year. That's all plain and simple, and 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:49.080 the Leader can put that in his proposal on opening 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:52.720 up the government, so it doesn't need a vote. It 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.640 can't be blocked by anybody. It's the right thing to do. 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.080 It does still have no income caps, so people who 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.360 make a million to two three million dollars, as you said, 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:02.080 if you would. 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.880 Have listened to my speech yesterday, once we passed the 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.880 one year fix, so people right now aren't in difficulty, 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.160 we would sit and negotiate that the Leader has said 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.159 he won't negotiate before. We're willing to negotiate once the 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.240 credits are extended, plain and simple, and we made that 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.159 in our proposal yesterday. 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.320 So for one year, people making millions of dollars would 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.160 still receive these covid ear subsidies. 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:31.160 The bottom line is the senator from Ohio ignores that 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.560 ninety nine percent of people. You want to hurt people 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:38.400 making ten thousand, fifty ninety thousand, and hold this up. 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.280 We can fix what the gentleman said in a negotiation, 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.559 but don't have people who are every day being hurt, 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:50.440 hurt by paying thousands of dollars more that they can't afford. 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:54.520 I know that the senator from Ohio cares about the billionaires. 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.880 We care about average working people. I yield the floor. 0:04:58.200 --> 0:04:59.760 So just to be clear, just to be. 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:06.720 All right, So, the nation's largest health care providers, they've 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:11.159 seen nothing but great business and great profits because of 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:16.320 all of the Democrats. When insurance companies found net earnings 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.839 ballooning over two hundred and sixteen percent, and Americans that 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.320 not only did the average family not save twenty five 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.919 hundred dollars on average per year as promised, they're paying 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.240 anywhere from two hundred and twenty five percent to three 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:34.160 hundred percent more, and their coverage is lousy. One study 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.960 found weighted average of health insurance stock prices has grown 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:42.400 a whopping one thoy thirty two percent four hundred and 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:46.920 forty eight percent from twenty thirteen, in a massive amount 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:47.320 of money. 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:47.920 All right. 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.760 Joining us now is our friend doctor Oz, seventeenth administrator 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:56.000 for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. He has 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.320 been immersed in all of this for the longest time. 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.240 He belie leaves in healthcare innovation, he believes in modernization, 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:08.080 he believes in telemedicine, health savings accounts. He believes in 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.320 healthcare cooperatives. Doctor Oiz, welcome back. 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:13.960 Thank you for having me Sean. You know, just to 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:19.080 comment on Senator Schumer's oratory. You know what he's talking 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:23.640 about is not happening the marketplace. On average, the average 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:27.400 person's premiums next year, if nothing is done, is going 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.960 to be about fifty dollars on average for the original 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:35.000 Obamacare population. That's thirteen dollars more on average than this year. 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.960 So when he's insulting the senator for Ohio and saying 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.440 he only cares about millionaires, the reason the millionaire is 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.040 should comes up is because when thesessay for articles talk 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.239 about all these huge premium increases, they're often talking about 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.440 a sixty two year old with one hundred and twenty 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.120 five to thirty thousand dollars pension, and because of that 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:54.039 amount of money that's coming in passively, they don't get 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.080 to have free healthcare insurance in the original Obamacare. But 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:58.680 let's just take a step back for a second, because 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.239 this is really criticals. You laid it out brilliantly as always, 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:05.040 when Obamacare was passed, it was addressing people making one 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.120 and four times to poverty level. Let's just say a 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.280 property level sixteen thousand dollars, so people make it under 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.880 sixty sixty five thousand dollars. That's what was designed for 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:19.840 the COVID era additions the Democrats made added additional subsidies 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.960 beyond the eighty percent subsidy that already existed. So you're 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.120 already getting eight out of ten dollars paid for by 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.040 the government. Now you're getting the ninth dollar paid for 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.720 by the government, and they gave it to people who 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.240 were making more than four times property. In fact, there 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.000 was no cap. You can make as much money as 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.000 you want, as long as you meet their criteria, you 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.360 could get subsidies. So there's a lot of people who 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:39.440 are making pretty good money. 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.960 Well by no cap, does that mean a wealthy person 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.440 could have gotten on if they didn't have insurance with 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.600 their retirement plan, they could have gotten on, and even 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.680 though they were worth millions, not. 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.960 Could have That's what's happening now. It's not common, but 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.400 it definitely happens and if you're making you know, one 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.520 hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year, and again as 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.520 a pensioner, so your public pension pays for you, and 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.080 you're getting healthcare from that public union. Guess what the 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.600 public unions do. They say, you know what, get the 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.640 insurance from the government. We don't have to pay for it. 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:09.840 We'll save our money and put it into pensions. Well, 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.800 you know, we'll give you money in other ways. You 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:13.800 just go ahead and move on to the government because 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.680 it's so lucrative and the government's paying for it. But 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.080 what that does is cheat the system. Here's what the 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.320 Republicans stand for. Because I don't think we should spend 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.240 our time talking about how crazy bad a system was 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:29.880 created by the Obamacare model that with the added COVID subsidies. 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.600 Let's talk about what the Republican Party can do if 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:34.800 we open government and we can bring back all the 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.280 actual areas and the insurance experts that work in government. 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.520 The people who know this business realized what was done 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.959 by the Democrats is bad policy. It stimulates fraud. And 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:45.880 I'll give you one bit of information if you remember 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.640 nothing else from this interview. For all the listeners, out there. 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.840 Remember this, If you had insurance, would you use it? Sean, 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:54.959 that's a question for you. If you had insurance what 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:56.440 you have now, if you went to a drug store 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.800 for medication or to a doctor for a procedure, would 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:02.400 you use Okay. So it turns out that of the 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:06.000 twenty four million people who are on the Obamacare role 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.120 right now, last year, twelve million people did not file 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.439 a claim. Is that a little surprising? And here's the 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:16.600 part that stuns me. Historically, historically there was always going 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:18.760 to be some people who didn't file claims, let's just say, 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.040 and the number happens to be around four million people 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.680 a year nine twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.200 twenty twenty two, it was, you know, four million. Roughly 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:31.840 last year eleven million people filed no claims. What happened, 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:35.000 Here's what happened. As part of the covid era subsidies. 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.079 The Democrats said, from now on, no premium. Forget about 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.480 a low premium or twenty five dollars premium, or have 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.200 been a five dollar premium, zero nada. You don't have 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.319 to pay anything. It's yours for free. When you do that, 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.920 people who don't realize they have insurance are getting signed up. 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.200 You literally have people who the first time they find 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.400 out they had insurance is the next year when their 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.800 tax bill comes due, because you know, these are subsidies 0:09:57.840 --> 0:09:59.920 off your taxing because you're getting you getting taxed on, 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.800 you're on the money you're making because you're working. Theoretically, 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.000 they get a build the taxi iOS sends them, but 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:06.920 notes say hey, by the way, you had insurance last year. 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:08.600 We're going to charge you for that. And they said, 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.720 what are you talking about, I never had insurance. That 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:14.160 turns out, just that little phenomenon hundreds of thousands of 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.520 people in that group, but we think total four point 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:21.320 four million people were improperly enrolled, which means you, the 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.960 federal taxpayer, are paying full freight insurance top dollar to 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.240 all these insurance companies, which, as you point out, are 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.000 doing really well. Because if you give an insurance company 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.360 money for insurance and nobody picks up the phone and 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.199 calls to get the money because they're not they don't 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.439 know they have the insurance. Guess what happens to the money. 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.560 It goes to the bottom line of the insurance company, 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.800 and they're therefore worth more. And this is the hypocrisy 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:47.040 of the Democratic Party. They pretend day care. They their 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:51.360 instinctive have Lovan response to a problem is to throw 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.560 money at it. And so during COVID, the Democrats threw 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:56.800 money at a system that did not need more money, 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:58.160 or if it did need it, they needed it for 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.439 a year. Here we are three years later. They decided, 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.240 the Democrats decided this is not a good idea long term. 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.080 We're going to have it go away. They thought they 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.040 were going to win the election last year. They figured 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.200 they deal with it. No one can plain because, oh 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.680 my gosh, it's so lucrative. Now they're using it as 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:17.200 a weapon. They don't care at all about this ICA 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.720 issue aside from its political value. That's why when they 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.920 started barking up the tree of repealing the one Big 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.560 Beautiful Bill. And last week we identified that our claims 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:30.200 that illegal immigrants are pulling down federal tax dollars over 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.280 a billion dollars. We identified that we released last week. 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.280 As soon as we said that, they stopped talking about 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.400 that because he caught them, you know, they were lying 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:40.360 and saying, well, there's no illegal immigrants getting health care. 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.720 There's absolutely legal immigrants. A lot of them still pulling 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:45.880 down healthcare and they're not putting on any old healthcare. 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.120 Do we have the number of people and how much 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.840 did you say? They're getting one. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.920 Point three billion dollars. There are six states were analyzing, 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.360 you know, California, Illinois, New York, Oregon, and Washington. They're 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:00.320 six states and we're just starting only over a couple 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:03.080 of months. But again, why does this have to be done? 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.960 We know what's happening. If you give people a governor 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.480 of money from the federal government and say, hey, you 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.080 know what, I don't know. I'm not going to check. 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:13.359 So if you happen to give it the illegal immigrants, 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.000 you know, we're not going to you know, make a 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.280 big deal about it. And you literally sort of telegraph that. 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.320 What happens it all of a sudden it finds its 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.960 way into the illegal immigrant healthcare and Sean, the problem is, 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.400 you know you live in Florida. Why are federal attached 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.360 payers in Florida who are not obliged in Florida to 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.480 pay for legal immigrants? Why is that money being shunted 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.360 to California so you can pick up illegal immigrant health 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.160 care costs. It's not right, It's it's not the law, 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:37.440 one big beautiful bill. 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:37.920 Stop that. 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.800 When the Democrats are realizing they're getting caught, they're just 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.599 jumping to the next told stool so they can just 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.240 keep me progging ahead of us. That's why as soon 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:50.480 as this shutdown is, I'm praying averted, and you know 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.800 we not averted ended tomorrow. Now we're going to get 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.280 ayone back to work again. We have tons of ideas. 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.040 Let's put them together. The President's been reviewing them. Let's 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.160 get the ones that make the most sense from a 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:05.160 business perspective and a society perspective. I want to help people. 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.120 I don't want to pretend that I'm helping people or 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.680 you're a pontificate about helping people. We want to create 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:14.319 programs that are viable. Otherwise Obamacare will implode under its 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:15.959 weight from poor policies. 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:20.040 Quick break more with our friend doctor oz. He is 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:24.920 the administrator for the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services. What 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.280 is the right healthcare plan? What should you be looking 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.520 at for you? You and your family will get to 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.720 that on the other side, and your calls coming up 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.720 eight hundred and nine to four one, Shawn. As we continue, 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.560 we held over our friend, doctor oz He is now 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.839 the administrator for the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services, and 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.080 you know, all of the lining that's gone on about healthcare, 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:50.760 he's basically set the record straight. So I think it's 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.360 a fair question that most people have on their mind 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.480 because a lot of people, you know, they're busy with 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.320 their day to day lives. They're not getting into the 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:01.079 weeds of reading about different healthcare options and plans. For example, 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:03.959 like young people, I would recommend, you know, they get, 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:07.600 you know, a plan that has included in it a 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:11.360 check up every year if God forbid they need stitches 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.960 or you know, they break a leg or have an accident. 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.840 You know, you can get catastrophic insurance with as high 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.400 deductible as you can afford. And guess what, You're going 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.320 to pay a lot less for insurance and you're going 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.520 to be fully covered, especially for somebody that you know 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:29.480 is generally in good health. But telemedicine is also the future. 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:33.400 It's happening now. Health care savings accounts. I always love 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.760 that idea, and you accumulate money throughout your young years 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.240 and you take it into your older years when most 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.760 people need the money for health care or you know, 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.200 if you die quickly, that money goes to your family. 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.520 The other thing is healthcare cooperatives. Our friend, doctor Josh 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:51.800 Umber fifty bucks a month for adults unlimited care doctors 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.880 available twenty four to seven. He negotiated at Atlas MD 0:14:56.320 --> 0:15:01.560 for health care prescriptions with directly with pharmaceutical companies ninety 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.880 percent discount. Leave the doctor's office with the medicine you need. 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.760 Where do you see healthcare going? And what should people 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:12.000 be looking for for their family's healthcare? 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.040 You need a coach the number one most important thing, 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.760 and we're trying to do this at CMS, which is 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.760 the centers for Medicare and Medicaid that I administered. Last week, 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:22.920 we put a rule out because is you know, when 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.960 you change policies, how you do it, And we said 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:26.720 we're going to take two and a half percent from 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.920 all the specialists like me, you know, my heart surgeon, 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.320 and give that two and a half percent salary to 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.320 all the primary care doctors, the general practitioners, the guys 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.160 who on the street corner who you can actually go 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.720 get advice from about day to day issues, including the 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.520 ones you mentioned, the ones Josh for example, takes care 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.000 of and so by getting a coach in your life 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.360 who's got enough expertise to help you in a bind 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.360 when you have a problem, it's not some abstract concept. 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.280 He can holistically begin to manage you. Hey, you know, Sean, 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:55.200 I know you like to work out every day, and 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.120 I think your back pay might be from the working out. 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:58.720 Maybe you can change that a little bit litt a 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.360 little less jujitsu, a little more on peloton. I mean, 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.880 whatever the advice is, it's customized to you. But you 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.880 said something really important that you can actually negotiate drug prices. 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.200 That's what we've been doing. I bet you when we 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.240 look forward to the biggest health issue in the next election, 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.960 it's going to be the fact that that Trump RX 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:21.680 is a transparent, easy way for every American, every American 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.600 to see the actual best price for the drugs you're taking. 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.800 The sticker shock that afflicts one in three people prescribe 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:29.840 the medication from a doctor like me, and they go 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:31.920 to the pharmacy and I don't know what it costs. 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:35.040 When I literally write the prescription, the patient doesn't find 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:36.560 out that they're trying to pay and pick it up, 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:37.920 and all of a sudden they think, oh my gosh, 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:39.840 a thousand bucks. I can't afford that. And they run 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.600 away and they can't tell anybody because they're embarrassed right 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.800 now in Shawn in America. And the President goes crazy 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.760 with this, and he is a fantastic leader, I mean 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:49.920 just spectacular with this kind of stuff. He sees a 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.680 problem as a businessman, he says, you got to negotiate 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.680 to fix it. So he says, every American on average, 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.560 is paying three times more for the exact same drug 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:00.400 and the same bottle made the same fact actually as 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.800 they pay in Europe. Wrong should not happen. Global freeloading 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:05.960 has to stop. So he charged us. And as you know, 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.480 because he does this to you, he calls you, calls you, 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.640 called you because you've got ideas and concepts. He wants 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.120 to check in so with me, Secretary Kennedy. 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.840 He calls all right, all hours of the day and night. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:17.800 You never know when that call is coming. 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.679 In when the odd hour call comes, it's from him. Anyway, 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:22.600 So the President, you know, I've got on this. And 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.080 as you know, last week we did the fourth of 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:29.200 these big announcements that with the leading US company, leading 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.920 European company, the all the fertility drugs. And now last week, 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.760 all the weight loss drugs will be sold at a 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:38.280 price that is dramatically lower. It's probably one fifth price 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.800 the actual list price of these drugs, and that's the 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.200 price they sold for in Europe. So now, and I'll 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:47.120 tell you that that announcement is really important for two reasons. 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.560 It takes care of a moral hazard. Now poor people 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.400 who are gaining weight and having problems have the opportunity 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.240 if they wish to get this drug. The number one place, 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:58.280 number one zip code for these drugs being used as 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.040 the upper East side of Manhattan. Not where the obesity 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:04.440 epidemic is crushing us. It's crushing us an Appalachia, Mississippian 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:07.040 rural parts of the country. So now we have a 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.119 pathway to giving medications to all those folks. And this 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:13.240 is a really good part. It saves us so much 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.280 by reducing diabetes and high pertension and all the downstream 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:20.200 problems gidney failure, heart attacks, throw a kidney, the liver problems. 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:22.960 They all get better, or at least they don't get worse. 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.479 And that actually will save us so much money that 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:28.919 we're actually the federal taxpayer is going to save money 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:31.720 with this deal within the next two years and over time, 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:33.320 it's going to be a massive benefit. So when you 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:36.240 look at the overall architecture of the healthcare landscape, the 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.960 most important thing we need to do as your guardians 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:40.639 of the taxpayer dollar and you need to do as 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:44.920 an individual is negotiate, ask, and we're insisting on transparency 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:48.000 now and within the next six to eight months, you'll 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.639 have tools that will give you complete transparency and the 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.760 cost of drugs, the cost of hospital, the hospital, your 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.280 doctors bill everything, so you don't get surprised, and then 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.959 you should be a smart user of the system. You know, 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:01.439 I'm not going to pay you XYZ for an set 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.080 scan when it's half the price across town. I'm not 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:05.959 going to pay three times more than the Europeace run 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.479 weight loss drug Trump all x has it for the 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:10.760 actual price that they negotiated for me. And this is 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.600 something that we've really struggled with in this country. We've 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:17.679 not had business people running these agencies. And now because 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:20.600 of the President attracting in top kit talent, you have 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:23.679 folks who made a lot of money negotiating because that's 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.399 what you do when you're making money. Now using that 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:32.000 same insight those same talents to protect the American taxpayer dollars. 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:34.560 Okay, now let me ask you if you've brought up 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:37.960 weight loss drugs. I guess that's o Zepic and Manchuro 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:40.000 and I don't know the names of all of them. 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:43.520 Zep Bound is that one of them? And I know 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:46.879 a number of people that have gotten on these medications. 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.880
