The administrator of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Dr. Mehmet Oz, said that the Trump administration plans to invest more than $ 200 billion “more” more in Medicaid after the adoption of the “Big Beautiful Bill”.
“I try to save this beautiful program, this noble effort, to help people, by lending them a hand,” said Oz to CBS “Face The Nation” on Sunday.
“And while you are likely to come together, if Medicaid is unable to take care of the people for whom it has been conceived, young children, dawn of their lives, those who are frizzy for their lives, the elders and those who were disabled living in the shadows, as Hubert Humphrey said, then we are not satisfying the fundamental obligation of a moral government,” he continued.
Oz, the 17th administrator of CMS, said that the government wanted “an appropriate return” on the investment of Medicaid. He addressed the difference in medication costs between the United States and Europe, adding that the work is carried out by the administration in order to reduce the prices of drugs.

Last week, the Trump administration announced that it launched a new program that will allow Americans to share personal health data and medical records between health systems and applications managed by private technological companies, promising that it will facilitate access to health files and monitor well-being.
The CMS will be responsible for maintaining the system, and those responsible have said that patients will have to opt for the sharing of their medical records and their data, which will be kept safe.

These officials said that patients will benefit from a system that would allow them to quickly call their own files without characteristic difficulties, such as the requirement for the use of faxes to share documents, which have prevented them from doing so.
“We are going to have remarkable advances in the way consumers can use their own files” Oz said During the White House event.
