Overview
- Oz discussed TrumpRx, which HHS launched this week after a planned January debut was delayed over anti‑kickback and legality concerns.
- He said transparency would pressure employers and insurers to cut middlemen and lower prices, emphasizing benefits for Medicaid and cash‑pay patients.
- During a discussion of GLP‑1 medicines, he told anchor Pamela Brown she looked “like a gazelle” and noted the drugs now come as pills as well as injections.
- Viewers criticized Brown and co‑anchor Wolf Blitzer for a soft interview and an on‑air high‑five, with social‑media posts ridiculing the exchange.
- Coverage has questioned whether TrumpRx will materially help insured patients, and Oz also suggested Americans should work longer before retiring.
