## Resource

Dr. Mehmet Oz steps to the podium as CMS Administrator to deliver a wide ranging health policy briefing. TrumpRx.gov just added 160 more drugs, now covering 4 out of 5 prescriptions, with $500 million in estimated savings in just two weeks. Starting July 1, Medicare beneficiaries can get GLP-1 weight loss drugs for $50 a month, down from over $1,000. Oz then pivots to the fraud crackdown, naming organized criminal syndicates behind a surge in California hospice fraud, Minnesota autism billing schemes, and $2 billion in Medicaid payments to illegal immigrants. He also covers new Medicaid work requirements, Obamacare ghost enrollees, Ebola preparedness ahead of the World Cup, and dodges every Bill Pulte question with the enthusiasm of a man who really just wants to talk about cholesterol.
