About The Episode:
On this episode, Marc discusses how there is little question Dr. Oz is carrying out a revolution at CMS. While some may disagree with the strategies, change is needed.
Key Takeaways:
There is little question that the Trump 47 CMS is very different than Trump 45 and Biden.
If Trump 45 tested ideas, Trump 47 is executing on them.
Leveraging technology in healthcare is top of mind for CMS Administrator Dr. Oz.
Quality is poor in healthcare and Oz wants to change that so as to reduce costs.
Oz rightly notes that people who do not seek care can be the most expensive.
Oz is very focused on reducing drug prices and the Trump administration has made remarkable progress.
CMS also continues with value-based care and there is a proliferation of models.
Aspects of the CMS initiatives are controversial and will have fallout. But it is hard to argue change is not needed.
