Dr. Oz: America is drowning in chronic disease

The newly appointed head of CMS isn’t sugarcoating it: the healthcare system is failing because it’s not focused on health.

“70% of the healthcare expenditures of this country are driven by chronic disease,” Oz said.

That’s not sustainable. It’s not even survivable.

And the answer isn’t more pills—or more spending. It’s going after the root cause: the nation’s collapsing health.

Oz says it starts with a mindset shift.

“It is your patriotic duty—I’ll say it again—the patriotic duty of all Americans to take care of themselves because it's important for serving in the military, but it's also important because healthy people don’t consume healthcare resources.”

“The best way to reduce drug spend is use less drugs—because you don’t need them—because you’re healthy.”

Less dependence. More strength. Real freedom.

Dr. Oz is challenging Americans to reclaim their health—and take back the future.
