Dr. Oz's 'ridiculous' claims about health insurance on Fox News leave analyst aghast
Дата публикации: 05-07-2026 23:51:35


President Donald Trump's top health care chief revealed during a recent Fox News interview that he apparently doesn't know how health insurance works, according to one political analyst. Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Trump administration's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator, discussed his efforts to combat alleged health care fraud during a recent Fox News appearance. During the interview, Oz claimed that "40%" of people who signed up for Obamacare "never used their health insurance" and insurance brokers are "making a ton of money off of the American people" by signing multiple people up for the same policy that isn't being used. David Pakman, host of "The David Pakman Show" on YouTube, reacted to Oz's interview during a new episode. He described Oz's comments as "ridiculous.""What he's describing is not how insurance works," Pakman said. "It's sort of like if you didn't crash your car last year, your auto insurance was a fraud. If your house didn't burn down and you needed to make a homeowner's insurance claim, it must have been fake homeowner's insurance. If you didn't have a medical emergency, your health insurance somehow wasn't real. It's one of the strangest arguments I've heard.""The whole point of insurance is I hope you don't need it," he added. "That's why it's called insurance."
