## Resource

Dr. Oz on the New $50 Weight Loss Program, Cracking Down on $2 Billion in Healthcare Fraud, and the "Silent Killer" Warning You Need to Hear Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in America, and the recent death of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham has put an even bigger spotlight on the health crisis. Following the tragic passing of Graham—which doctors believe was caused by an aortic tear—CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz joined Jessica Rosenthal to deliver a vital health warning about aortic dissections and the "silent killer" that millions of Americans are ignoring: high blood pressure. He explained the importance of knowing your numbers and why hypertension can be so harmful to the heart and other organs. Dr. Oz also broke down the newly launched BRIDGE program, which makes GLP-1 weight-loss drugs affordable for seniors, and explained why he says these medications can save lives and taxpayer dollars. Finally, he shared exclusive details from his latest boots-on-the-ground investigation exposing a massive, multi-billion-dollar Medicare fraud ring, and how the Administration is trying to shut down operations that are siphoning government money. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.
