174. Dr. Mehmet Oz: The BIG Problem with America's Healthcare System Nobody Talks About

What if I told you that America spends twice as much on healthcare as any other developed country, yet our life expectancy keeps declining? In this conversation with Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator of CMS, I explore why we're getting sicker despite spending more. Dr. Oz reveals alarming childhood obesity statistics, how loneliness drives healthcare costs, and why one in four children are pre-diabetic. This exposes the fundamental disconnect between healthcare spending and actual health outcomes every American needs to understand!
