The old divide and conquer….

EXACTLY ‼️ I mean, if you’re young SURELY cancer won’t strike, you’re NEVER going to be in a car accident and it’s highly unlikely that you’ll ever be a victim of gun violence 😎. Somebody please explain to this idiot the law of large numbers, you know, the basis for the entire insurance market.

This didn't work well before the ACA, and it won't work well now, despite all the economic gibberish.

Yikes. That’s a lot of misinformation, especially because he knows how insurance works but he spreads these lies instead.

So...not only are they not thinking about Universal healthcare they're going to end employer provided insurance?

He is going to give us a dollar to buy $2500/mo health insurance.

Calamities happen at every age. No one plans to be in an accident or develop a serious medical condition. Then they have a preexisting condition that won't be covered even if they could afford insurace. And that's not how we can keep insurance prices low. You don't insure a house after it's on fire.

Anyone of any age can break an arm at any time. That can be $32,000.

It’s pretty easy for a guy worth $200 million to say if any medical issues arise to just pay out-of-pocket. A reminder, we have more millionaires and billionaires in the cabinet than ever in the history of the U.S. The people trying to govern us are completely out of touch.

How is it that insurance works again?

Trump: we have the best health care plan - we call it the big beautyfull health care plan ever.

Another caption: Dr. Oz proudly displays his profound ignorance of how insurance works.

He's mentally ill. THAT'S NOT HOW INSURANCE WORKS YOU FUCKING MORAN

There are over half a million health care related bankruptcies in the US, annually. The number of health care related bankruptcies in the developed world is NIL. You need Universal Healthcare, not Dr Oz cosplaying "care".

FYI Dr Oz; that’s not how the system works…

Yes, “use it or lose it” is exactly what I want for those times an unplanned medical emergency occurs.

Whose money is it that he thinks he's giving?

🤔 he is saying the original ACA if allowed to function as originally planned was a great idea. Man it’s too bad R’s decided they needed more middle men first🤬

With the slightest challenge it falls apart. “It changes the economics…” “Uh uh uh yeah but the whole group would move over!” No they fucking wouldn’t jackass. Large employer group insurance is a way better deal. Why would they move?

There was fucking. Ever a time when ACA was expected to entice large employer group participants. Never you idiot

Such a stupid fucking position that I don’t even know where to start on it. Just sooooooo dumb.

A la carte? People on Medicaid are not getting Botox and facelifts. Well, maybe Republicans are. 🤨

Mind melting.

It is incredible how often the GOP says things that prove they believe their voters are stupid and/or racist.

This quack is using smoke and mirrors to kill FOX news grandmas.

Sounds like how they pushed vouchers… as we all know, were meant to be used by rich kids anyway.

FACT: Nobody young and married has ever needed medical care or died. Check the data 🤷🏼‍♂️...

One will still need to buy health insurance.

This is a McGuffin. I think he is trying to normalize insurance carveouts. An all-time winner, pre-ACA: policies that wouldn't cover the female reproductive system.

Again, you're health is tied to how good a job you have and how good the company is yo the employees. Dr. Dipshit Oz talks about health insurance brokers. Medicare for all! The "brokers" being our government that we pay into. Would also come with oversight.

And how much "cash" will you give them when a delivery or a hospitalization can cost thousands of dollars if not more.

No you're not Oz the Weak and Stupid STFU and get off Our lawn

My dying uninsured self could not agree more.

This December, medical insurance companies are going to raise their rate by 11% going to small business companies and a 18% rate hike to individuals who purchase medical insurance. I can't wait to see how Dr Oz is going to explain that splendid trump driven expenditure without lying 😏

I don't think Dr Oz understands how insurance works

He talks about pregnancy as an example of high cost treatment. Heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, all of which cost way more, he ignores.

What is your health care plan dr OOZ Were you given cash or comprehensive health care covered at no expense to you ??

Or, like the rest of the world, how about universal healthcare.

Jesus Christ go back to Oprah ....

ProPublica did a story recently about an insurance company denying a man mental health coverage after he tried to commit suicide, TWICE. They said it wasn't medically necessary. Luckily he had a wife that wouldn't give up going after them, but it was obvious they were hoping she would give up.

Because no young people ever get cancer or other chronic illnesses, so why do they need insurance? Let them risk it?? Seriously? Most incompetent administration EVER

Can’t wait till they apply that logic to taxes, disaster relief, etc

Thats the choice young people make when the options are "health insurace", "student loans, and "food". If funds are limited (because its legal to for corporations to "require" a degree and pay "entry" wages), then thats the one that gets skipped. A value judgment. No one actually WANTS it. Douchebag

So the healthy can pocket the money & cross their fingers that nothing catastrophic occurs. Premiums will go through the roof for the rest of us. How to crash a system that already sucks.

and insurance rates go up for everyone else

Bullsh!t

In two weeks

I'm sure those unmarried, no kids people will just stay home if they get seriously ill. No chance they visit a hospital

Fuck You for this Oprah

Clueless and tone deaf

I thought they wanted everyone married with kids? This is not how you get everyone married with kids

Republicans will never give anyone money. 🙄

Dipshit.

I keep hoping they are going to accidently implement universal healthcare.

He cant be stupid enough to have no clue how insurance works. He is a slimy grifter like all of them.

So, your lump sum payment will be covering both my $722 monthly premium *and* $10,600 deductible, yes?

I'd rather have univeral healthcare😒 I'd rather not have to worry about wondering if I can afford to go to a doctor because its practically impossible to find a doctor or even a hospital sometimes who takes my insurance.

There’s already diff plans for insurance ie single, spouse, family. How do u know how much to give us, do u have a crystal ball to know what health issues we will face and how much we’ll need

These people are all such jackasses, that it is tiring just listening to them spewing bullshit.

Said like someone who doesn't understand how insurance pools work.

Tariffs will cover everything

Maybe a guy who is a dr. ought to be bright enough to know that being currently healthy doesn't mean squat when you have a medical emergency or when you are unlucky enough to lose the medical lottery. Our daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer at 32. Too bad for her if she hadn't had insurance.

…..says the rich guy with insurance I won’t get shot in a movie theater. I won’t get in a car wreck. I won’t get Covid. I won’t get cancer. There’s a reason it’s called “insurance”

Letting insurance companies get billions in tax payer money is a huge issue. You can have a one payer healthcare system for sick, preventive ,chronic, and emergency care. People can still get private insurance for other services not covered, like many other countries do.

The American individualist fails to understand that they benefit from a stable healthy productive creative population.

So he doesn’t know how insurance works. Among everything else that he doesn’t know.

So Trump’s long awaited healthcare plan is to restore the original Obamacare?

Why don’t you just come right out and tell everyone that you’re not qualified for your job.

Imagine the cost - emerg / CT/ mri / doctors / specialists

Reminds me of when Paul Ryan would pretend not to understand how insurance works.

We will give you the money to buy insurance on the open market but no medicare for all? What could go wrong?

Ok. I’ll need $78,000 for the ablation I just had.

And you're just one car accident away from catastrophic medical emergency.

No.

He knows. But he also knows the MAGA base are stupid. And they believe everything.

FUCK THIS LYING POS. my last plan premium was $900 (employer paid$600) with a deductible of $6600 and max out of pocket of $9100. That is nearly $20k if one ends up hospitalized for anything. They will offer $2k to pay for coverage at BEST! They think we are all stupid.

Like all in Trump's White House, Oz is as stupid as he is corrupt. But he has to be pretending that he has no idea how insurance works as he tells Americans to just roll the dice and hope for the best, so let's add cynically evil to his resume.

Ouch... you're not wrong.

Because you could have a devastating accident or medical diagnosis and require very expensive care.

Doc Oz rapes kids.

This doesn’t even make sense. Give them money to do what? Buy insurance? It’s gobbledygook.

Hate that fucking quack.

That's, that's not how insurance works... "Why do I have home insurance if I never got burgled, burned down, tornado, or flooding?" Ummmm...

Funny thing is, if he's giving you the money when you need it, he has bought insurance for you. That is exactly how insurance is supposed to work

He knows. He gets a lot of money to pretend not to

Offer this to members of Congress and see how many jump on board.

Not when you understand that the Right Wing brain is wired to be entirely selfish and incapable of contemplating 2nd & 3rd order effects. The Elites know they can keep mining this selfish short-sightedness to manipulate their peasant base into ceding power and acting against their own interests

“Im young….hey doc what’s with that car barreling into me? Why can’t I feel my legs? I didn’t choose car accident and internal injuries on my buffet card”

That's how insurance works. The person with kids also isn't at the higher risk of being Oz's age either.

Are republicans trying to lose elections? Talking about dismantling Medicare before an election that is dependent on old white folks on Medicare voting for republicans seems unwise.

So basically same logic as no testing no covid, if you don’t go to the doctor’s, you are not sick.

Fuck rich people

This is one of the most stupid things I've heard someone in charge of a government healthcare agency say. What if you have an accident or you contract an infection or you suddenly fall sick?

You're right. My mistake. That's the first step down a slippery slope that leads to the kind of delusional thinking that makes people look for "commonsense" compromise deals with MAGA.

Nobody chooses to get a catastrophic illness. Nobody chooses to be forced into bankruptcy by a catastrophic illness. Universal healthcare is a human right in any advanced society ‼️

Well at least make it over 4.00 dollars a month so I can buy a beer with it.

Idiot. Is Oprah responsible for Dr. Oz? Or do I have the wrong talk show. Regardless, idiot.

I would prefer to be given all of my SS payments with interest

So I can expect a check for $2250 a month for me and my family's Health insurance? 🤣

GOP = Greedy Obscene Parasites GOP = Gaslighting Obfuscating Psychopaths GOP = Groups Of Predators GOP = Guardians of Pedophiles GOP ≠ Good Operating Procedures GOP ≠ Leadership

Was there any sign Oprah picked 2 quacks? Dr. Phil and Oz have both uncovered themselves as greedy, selfish, corrupt, incompetent people.

My father once complained about having to cover maternity care (while I was pregnant) because he wasn't ever going to have kids. I don't have his health issues but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be covered. So sorry but that's how this works. We cover each other. We need single payer.

You're living in a society, buddy.

Young people never get in accidents either.

“But someday I will be old and I may have health problems….”

“We are aggressively pursuing the title of worst health care system in the world “

And if a young person breaks a leg they can magically fix it themselves.

There are fraud issues, but they are not by immigrant that are not entitled. Fraud is the venue of insurance companies and friends of Trump! Go after them! www.gov.ca.gov/2026/03/05/t... www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

Companies can unionize so that employees can get insurance.

The cool thing about buffets is you get to choose which foods you’d like to have

Cafeteria plans that do this already exist in private businesses. It’s nothing new. But healthcare for all works only when spread out over a large population of different users.
