A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica erects new roadblocks to care for veterans with the rare but deadly cancer.
The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive order about “restoring biological truth” in government.

Sounds like Dr Oz is wanting to setup "health panels," probably AI, to examine medical records. Even though not mentioned, and supposedly talking about the ACA, he veered off and this is targeting #disabled people, not the otherwise insured.
Stick-out quote, "Getting America back to work full speed, getting you to work longer if you desire, that builds trillions of dollars of value to the GDP."
VIDEO: Part of the interview,
"OZ: Make sure getting their insurance should be given wisdom based on their medical records, which they own.
It's your medical records.
You paid for them.
Use those medical records with partners who can help you manage whatever illness you're facing so we can get you back on your feet again and get you fully functional.
OZ: Let me give you one big idea.
What the health care system should do is not just pay the bills. We should make you so healthy that you flourish in life and you want to engage the workplace.

2/ Dr Oz thinks it is evidence of Medicaid and Medicare fraud that some Medicare and Medicaid spending per year is supportive services, like medications, and not doctor's appointments. It makes no sense. He is a bonehead.
I have Parkinson's Plus, multiple system atrophy. My medical records will show that most of my spending is medications and supportive services, and my appointments with doctors are few per year. Why, because in the early days of my illness, that is when all the appointments for dx happened.
Now, it is management appointments and supportive services like medications. #ACA #Medicaid #USPol #HealthCare #Medicare #SocialSecurity #SSA #Disabled #Disability
