00:00and we have a lot of great people here and we've been looking forward to this day but we sort of
00:28look forward to every day because we have a lot of surprises most of which are good today you saw
00:34GDP was much higher than anticipated and Scott good job Scott Besson's been working just got back
00:44from a little excursion and a meeting with China in Europe and that went well we've done very well
00:54with the EU deal it's a very big deal I guess they say the biggest trade deal ever made by far
01:00probably is just completed Japan and many other countries and hundreds of billions of dollars is
01:08flowing into our country we've never seen anything even close and that's not me saying it that's
01:13everybody saying it and it's going to be something really really very special maybe even more
01:20importantly factories for AI and for cars and for lots of other things are being built in this
01:29country or planned to be built very shortly they'll be starting and where they need great amounts of
01:35energy like for AI they're going to be I've given them approval and Lee Zeldin has given them very fast
01:43approval to build their own electric powering plants and they'll build them with the factory so
01:50we'd have to worry about an ancient grid and all of the other problems the obstacles people thought
01:55we were going to have that would make it impossible and we're leading AI by a lot and I think people are
02:03very impressed with our country as they said the king of Saudi Arabia and various leaders and just about
02:10every leader I can even imagine we were in the Middle East and Qatar UAE Saudi Arabia they said
02:17one year ago your country was dead and today you have the hottest country anywhere in the world and
02:24that's true so I congratulate everybody in the room that's helped but we're doing a good job together
02:30I'd like to begin by saying a few words about the unbelievable kind of numbers that we've been putting up
02:39and as I said we the number of three percent the pace in the second quarter we smashed all expectations
02:49they thought it would be maybe a little bit less than two and it was three a little bit more than
02:55three consumer spending is up business investment is way up domestic manufacturing is way up the real
03:03disposable family income is up and personal savings are up other than that we're not doing
03:09so great we have the hottest country and I'll tell you it's it's a great we're having a lot of fun with
03:17it at the same time we dramatically slash government spending for the second quarter in a row down nearly
03:24four percent which people were surprised that we do a lot of cutting also the private sector is boomed with
03:30nearly 600,000 jobs added way above expectations while we have reduced the federal workforce by 70,000 jobs so
03:40these are private jobs that are coming back to our country federal jobs are being cut critics said that our
03:48tariffs would hurt the economy but the data shows the exact opposite and the exact opposite is happening
03:56the US Treasury has taken in 150 billion dollars from tariffs and we'll be adding about 200 billion dollars
04:04next month for totals that nobody's ever seen before frankly and foreign imports were down 30 percent in the
04:13second quarter while the domestic auto production surged by a stunning 36 percent
04:19country and we're going to have a very healthy country at the same time inflation continues to fall
04:33faster than expectations and for the fifth consecutive month core inflation was lower than predicted
04:41substantially this is truly the dawn of the golden age of America that's what we're in we want to keep it
04:49that way this afternoon we're gathered to announce another historic victory for the American people very
04:56important one today the dream of easily transportable electronic medical records finally becomes a reality
05:05I want to thank Secretary Scott Bessent Robert F Kennedy Jr. for joining us as well as administrator of the
05:14Centers for Medicine and Medicaid Services Dr. Mehmet Oz all friends of mine
05:19White House AI and crypto czar David Sachs and acting administrator of Doge Amy Gleason all here and we have various great senators here
05:32Senator around Senator Cassidy thank you very much very much for being here and helping out I also want to thank representatives from
05:40Apple Google Samsung Amazon open AI anthropic epic Oracle Athena health Noom and that's that's not a bad group of people well and they're the top people we don't play games you know when you invite people to the White House the top ones that's a big net worth sitting in this room right now boy oh boy we better make sure the room is nice and
05:58safe there's half our the net worth of our country I'm also grateful to be joined by many numerous congressmen I'm not going to name you if you don't mind I'll probably never get their vote again but it's too many thank you very much for being here the Congress has been great Senator
06:05senators and bears have been great and the congressmen and Muslims have been great and the mostiod
06:26being here the congress has been great senators have been great and the congressmen and women have
06:30been great we just passed the most important i think look i i can't say most important but
06:35certainly one of the most but the most consequential and the largest bill in the history
06:41of congress and i call it the great big beautiful bill we call it different names but it all means
06:47the same thing for decades america's healthcare networks have been overdue for a high-tech upgrade
06:54and that's what we're doing the existing systems are often slow costly and incompatible with one
07:00another but with today's announcement we take a major step to bring healthcare into the digital age
07:07something that is absolutely vital you've got to do it moving from clipboards and fax machines into
07:15a new era of convenience profitability and speed and frankly better health for people under the
07:22leadership of administrator oz we're officially launching the cms digital health tech ecosystem
07:29to give healthcare providers insurers and software companies the tools they need to empower americans
07:36with a 21st century experience on health the key breakthrough we've made is getting many of the
07:43biggest names in the healthcare and technology to agree to industry-wide standards for electronic
07:51medical records all of those great companies that you just heard have gotten together with
07:56this group of very brilliant people i think i don't know who's more brilliant them or them
08:02i i don't know could be them i hate to tell you it could very well be them but i don't know i'm
08:08going to take my team but the key breakthrough we've made is getting many of the biggest names in
08:13healthcare and technology to agree to that uh the real those standards of electronic medical records that
08:20we talk about and you've heard about for so many years and now it's happening this will allow patients
08:27to easily transmit information from one doctor to another even if they're different networks and using
08:34different record-keeping systems no matter what system they use they're all transferable the new
08:40standards will also make it simple for patients to access their own personal health records i don't want
08:46to see mine please i don't want to see i don't know about you they have all sorts of things sir they
08:51can tell you exactly what your problem is going to be in six years we can do it you know they have
08:58all these different things i don't know if they work or not but i didn't want to hear it
09:02i didn't want to hear they got a problem i don't want to know about it right now
09:06but it is amazing what they're doing i don't know does it actually work can they do that all right
09:12well then i'm glad i said i don't want to know but thanks to this announcement healthcare
09:16providers across the country will also finally be able to kill the clipboard it's an expression
09:22that's used capital with a capital c kill the clipboard instead of filling out the same tedious
09:30paperwork at every medical appointment patients will simply be able to grant their doctors access
09:35to their records at the push of a button just a button and you're all set and all the information
09:41the doctor needs will be immediately transmitted the system will be entirely opt-in and there will
09:49be no centralized government run database which everyone is always concerned about i'm i'm less
09:55concerned than anybody i say whatever it is it is but people are very very concerned about the personal
10:01records they want to keep them very quiet and that's their choice i think it's a great thing
10:06because it will be it'll be absolutely quiet instead doctors and patients will always remain
10:13in control the benefits to millions of americans will be enormous we will save time we will save money
10:19and most importantly we'll save lives it's just going to make people live longer and be a lot healthier i
10:25think that's really what you're looking to do and now i'd like to ask secretary kennedy to say a few
10:30words followed by david sachs dr oz and amy gleason thank you very much everybody
10:44thank you very much mr president and i i just want to begin by um making a comment that is irrelevant
10:52to what we're gathered here today to talk about but i've been coming to this building for
10:5865 years and i have to say that it has never looked better um
11:08i was and i've spent some time i've spent some time in the oval office which uh it really has
11:15it's been transformed and i i was looking at a picture of the oval office the other day when i was
11:22there when i was a kid with my uncle and you know it was an extraordinary it's always an
11:27extraordinary to go into that that um sacred space but i have to say that it looked kind of drab in
11:34the pictures and they're black and white pictures but look drab and it looks the opposite of drab today
11:39and i think i i know all these portraits i hope you get a chance to look at them when you go out there
11:45that they were handpicked by the president and many of them uh hijacked from other agencies that were
11:54trying to keep them uh but i i mean you know my uncle my aunt jackie who were deeply committed to
12:03design to beauty um and who understood that it's important to have our public buildings be beautiful
12:11because it inspires us it elevates the human spirit is one of the uh it is a template and it's a it's an
12:20example an exemplar for for democracy the the releasing through freedoms of the creativity of the human
12:27spirit and uh this building of all buildings should look beautiful and under your stewardship it looks
12:35extraordinary today so thank you mr president for that um a couple of about about three weeks ago
12:44i met with the indonesian health minister and indonesia today is regarded as the highest flourishing
12:53nation on earth since 1990 it has increased the lifespan of its women by eight years of its men by nine
13:03years there is no country that has a record like that and there are two major innovations that allowed them
13:10to achieve that extraordinary outcome and one of those was to disincentivize people from eating processed
13:18foods oh you are paid not to eat processed foods and you are penalized for eating processed foods the other
13:27innovation that really transformed indonesia was allowing people control of their individual health
13:34records only he showed me the app that they use that everybody in indonesia has and it shows your height
13:42your weight your blood type your bmi your cardiac markers your diabetes markers your cholesterol and any kind
13:52of the individualized treatments that you had so if you go to a doctor in another town he doesn't do what
14:00we have to do here which is to sit there with a clipboard and a fax machine in order to get your health
14:06records it's available and it allows them to give better treatment it also allows you to make better choices
14:14over your life and there's other apps like yucca in indonesia that allow you
14:21to choose good foods when you go to the grocery store so you can turn your app on on your phone
14:27and you can get full information those foods well now if you have your medical records
14:32you can get personalized advice and that app will also give you advice about a better alternative
14:40so we're going to be able to we met dr oz and i met with the former prime minister rudd of australia
14:46australia just before just after the election during the transition phase and he after his retirement
14:55as prime minister he ran a commission to reorganize the australian health system and they revolutionized
15:04and they vastly improved health in australia and he said the single thing that he did that was most
15:11important to that transformation was the transparency that occurs when people control their own health
15:18records because it gives people the choice over their own health decisions and over their own lives
15:23and it gives them a sense of responsibility and allows them to measure the interventions if they change
15:30their diet if they change their exercise it can show you how many steps you took today
15:36it can tell you if your glucose is spiking and all of that information will now be available to american
15:43citizens 60 years ago today we passed medicaid and medicare in this country and we have 60 ceos
15:54in this room of these extraordinary companies some of which the president just mentioned
15:59and have all agreed voluntarily to start sharing information president trump during his first term
16:08passed the inoperability with the interoperability rule and it was intended to do this for 20 years the
16:14federal government has been trying to do this everybody recognizes it's absolutely critical innovation
16:21for us advancing the health of american citizens to give them responsibility and to give them control over
16:27their own health care choices and unfortunately you ran out of time the last time around president trump
16:36gave us instructions that he wanted this to happen within six months we barely made it under the wire
16:42thanks to dr haas's leadership and within six months every american's going to be doing it thanks to the
16:48cooperation of the corporate leaders in this room you know about three months ago i met with the food
16:55executives and i asked them to voluntarily come forward and get rid of food dyes of the nine synthetic
17:03petroleum dyes and this is something again the government democrats and republicans have been trying to do
17:09for 20 years and the industry came forward and now 40 percent of the food industry in this country
17:16has taken the pledge to remove food dyes from all of their foods
17:20so that happened because of your leadership mr president two or a month ago we got after a lot
17:28of work by chris klump and dr oz and a lot of other people in our agency we got all the insurance
17:35executives to come together in our country and in our offices and agree to to get rid of pre-authorization
17:46for 80 of the dsm clothes this is a voluntary agreement 80 of the industry has now agreed to do
17:53that so this is happening because of good leadership president trump you've asked us to think big
18:01you've inspired us to dream big and you have you've enabled us to accomplish things that no other
18:09president has been able to do so i want to thank you for your leadership for allowing this to happen
18:15and with your leadership we're going to make america healthy again now i want to introduce my friend
18:22my colleague the cryptos are the acting administrator of doge david sachs
18:34thank you secretary kennedy um i recently got a text message from a friend whose wife has been suffering
18:41from a chronic illness for something like a decade and they've been trying to figure out what it is
18:44they've never been able to figure it out and i just want to read this to you right off my phone
18:49he said i uploaded my wife's blood work into one of our leading ai engines on friday it essentially
18:54diagnosed her as having a rare genetic defect that causes bone marrow failure it's caused every
19:00single thing that's happened to her she has every single symptom it started exactly the same age of
19:05presentation it's 10 people out of 1 million there's absolutely no way this is not it so wow that
19:11was it's really an incredible example of what ai is already able to do just today and we're just
19:18getting started and this was one person putting his wife's uh data in you know one of our consumer ai
19:26apps and uh he's already been able to to get that diagnosis and that's going to help them tremendously
19:32the key is here is the unlocking of the data because the more data that ai has the better it performs
19:38and so you know kudos to dr oz and secretary kennedy uh for this pledge today they were able to get 60
19:44major companies across different sectors of the economy to agree to unlock their data so that ai
19:50could use it to drive better patient outcomes and uh this is you know all due to your leadership and
19:57president trump's leadership to put american the american people's healthcare needs first uh and i remember
20:02dr oz he was one of the first people to call me uh after during the transition when the president
20:07announced that the ai's are because he wanted to ask me about how ai could better be used in health
20:12care so uh kudos to you dr oz your passion is really incredible and uh kudos to you secretary
20:19kennedy your passion as well and i remember um a couple years ago i was a big fan of bobby kennedy
20:25when he was running as a democrat and uh i remember thinking a lot more money than president trump
20:31well i remember i remember thinking there's just one problem uh with uh with bobby kennedy he's not
20:36a republican but thanks to president trump i think we fixed that so uh and i think that you know getting
20:43people like dr oz and bobby kennedy into the administration is a testament to president trump
20:48and the talent that he's able to attract and pull together and the the partnerships that he's able to
20:53forge because these are people who could be doing other things so it's really a testament to the great
20:57talent that president trump always attracts around him uh today's pledge by these companies is going
21:03to tear down barriers that allows both startups and established firms to compete freely uh we're opening
21:09up the playing field so that the best tools can scale compete on value and discover new methods for
21:14making americans healthy again uh technologies like ai they they do things like they they will expand
21:20access to care cut administrative costs reduce fraud and deliver better results for patients and doctors
21:26and uh i want to thank you president trump for your promise to only make americans healthy again
21:31but also to ensure that america is a predominant ai superpower just last week you announced a major
21:38major ai action plan with hundreds of billions of dollars of new investment in ai infrastructure and
21:44also getting red tape out of the way so that we can be the leading country in ai and it's these
21:49life-saving applications that are going to be built on top of all that uh infrastructure so thank you
21:55for your leadership and making the united states number one country in ai thank you thank you david thank
22:02you and now uh dr dr aros mr president today we are making american health technology remarkably great
22:12again we've always been at the leadership david's right i called him early on uh after the president
22:19offered me the position him as well and we began brainstorming under secretary kennedy from day one
22:23uh appreciated the crisis that we're in and how we needed to address it so today is a remarkably
22:29important day one that you will remember i believe for years to come for three reasons yes it is the
22:3460th birthday of medicare medicaid the first patient by the way was harry s truman although lyndon johnson
22:40signed the legislation 60 years ago today not far from here it is not just the ability to bring 60 of
22:46the top incumbents and insurgents in health technology hospital systems insurance companies electronic medical
22:52record companies ai companies the big players you're all here and we appreciate that very much
22:58but mr president use the power to convene that's fundamentally what i think the president has been
23:04able to offer us and secretary kennedy offered us uh as a group some examples but there are more to come
23:09and i want to touch on some of these but first i've got to do what doctors often have to do which is to
23:14tell you the truth even if you don't want to hear it so here goes these beautiful programs which are the
23:20backbone of the social network the social uh support system of this country the safety net they're
23:26flailing they're flailing for a bunch of reasons medicaid is a unique entity uh it has deviated from
23:33its original purpose by drift and by design uh the one big beautiful bill the ob3 law uh was elegant for
23:40that very reason and the president i don't know if you remember this i can share this but he called me
23:44once and he he was upset at me because i was going too strident at something and he said this is about
23:48fraud waste and abuse that's what we're interested in doing and that's exactly what uh the one big
23:54beautiful bill accomplished and it especially did it to save medicaid by putting 200 billion more
23:59dollars into it and allocating funds very specifically to use to support rural america and primarily some
24:05of that money will be used to support digital infrastructure which is terribly lacking in many parts
24:11of the country the money that's sent from washington doesn't get to rural america about seven
24:16percent of medicaid dollars get to rural hospitals we now have an ability to infuse funds through
24:22this 50 billion dollar rural health transformation fund into that system the gathering today is
24:27another example of how we can actually jump start that and accelerate it the other reality is covid
24:32broke the system it didn't for many reasons medicaid expenses went up 50 percent in five years
24:37medicare the trust fund uh that we met at actually treasury with secretary bessett and secretary
24:42kennedy as trustees it goes bankrupt in 2033 and that is actually a conservative estimate it could go
24:48bankrupt as early as 2029 thanks thankfully due to the economy that's not going to happen but we don't
24:54want to have to take that risk and there's some fundamental changes we need to make accordingly now
24:58there's one other big reality about making the system more efficient which is why what everyone
25:02here is talking about is so critical and let's just pick an average american born in 1964.
25:07that average american born in 64 will retire this year at age 61. if just that one group of people
25:14born in 64 could work three years longer because they're healthy because they feel like they want
25:18to do it because they feel vital and vigorous and they're flourishing just that one year
25:24working longer is is a trillion dollars to the u.s gdp and it's 300 billion dollars of tax revenue to pay
25:31for a lot of the problems that people are concerned about so it's not just keeping people out of the
25:36hospital getting them to thrive and flourish that makes what we're doing so critical today
25:41i think there are a lot of realities to how health care has gone unfortunately this system
25:45is frozen and it has been for many reasons despite efforts in the first administration
25:49it's frozen in time so it cannot address the quality lags that exist while netflix and airbnb and
25:56and uber drivers are racing ahead making arrangements identifying the problems that are
26:01challenging us in health care have become incredibly difficult you can't make appointments
26:05the average americans are tired they're tired of waiting for a doctor's appointment they're tired
26:10of waiting for the surprise of what your hospital bill is going to offer that's being addressed by
26:14one of the president's executive orders they're tired of waiting for access to their medical records
26:18you own your medical records they're yours why you can't have access to them is this stunning
26:23reality in modern day america they're also tired of waiting for washington to take action
26:27and this president early on emphatically stated that wasn't going to happen anymore and today we made that
26:32vision into a reality and there's a fine line between vision and hallucination what you did
26:36today was show it's a vision because you share it with us and moving ahead on it and that's what
26:41today's commitments essentially are reflecting and they are pledges they're not laws they're nimble
26:46and they're fast and they're quick because president understands that you each of you in your own way
26:51understand these needs and secretary kennedy spoke beautifully about the reality what happens when you
26:55actually have electronic records because what he said is happening in indonesia we'll have here within a year
27:01on your device and 91 of medicaid patients have smartphones on this device you'll get insights
27:08based on your records if you want you don't have to take this but if you desire amy gleason is one of
27:13the smartest people i've ever worked with has built built a mechanism to be able to get you that
27:17information in a way with all these partners helping so that you can get nudged to pay attention to what
27:21you're eating and avoid processed foods and secretary kennedy smartly and wisely highlighted it is so dangerous
27:26to our well-being all this by the way is that will be at the fingertips in addition advice about what
27:30which doctor to see when to go see them nudges reminding you why i didn't do certain things if
27:35you're a doctor like me it's a very different story it's to help you navigate the system better it's
27:40giving you advice decision support which is becoming increasingly important as medicine gets
27:46more difficult but i'll tell you the best thing of all how many of you have been with your doctor
27:50telling them something heartfelt very emotional and they're looking to the side typing into their
27:54computer right it's common put your hands up i just want to see it yeah most everybody that's
27:59unfortunate because the whole sacrament the whole covenant of being with the doctor is having them
28:04look you in the eyes and realize you're there for each other that process is going to go away we will
28:10within the workflow of doctors be able with your help allow physicians to take care of patients gather
28:15the information while they're doing it and will destroy the up coding that has hurt medicare advantage
28:20and other programs alike in a similar fashion the i.t infrastructure that's going to change promises to improve
28:27a lot of things we're going to cut fraud waste and abuse mr president we announced with the doj two
28:31weeks ago a 15 billion dollar bust 15 billion dollars it's a multinational criminal syndicate
28:37based primarily we believe in the soviet union in russia and what they did was hack using beneficiary
28:42numbers into the system we'll be able to stop that because of a system that amy has put together
28:47and the uh the wonderful work of amy brand who has a fraud war room using this kind of technology
28:52because we'll know who you are and who your doctor is we can block this we're going to have remarkable
28:57advances in how consumers can use their own records we'll have beneficiaries be able to get maha advice
29:03and prevention tips and even be able to nudge them and reward them perhaps for that and and all this
29:08comes back to one fundamental issue mr president which is leadership i think 60 people the biggest the
29:14best the willing came forward because of your leadership because you weren't going to take no for an
29:19answer and they know it we are building a robust and safe i emphasize that safe system it's going to
29:24protect the data better than we could have imagined uh we're going to be able to accomplish goals that
29:29all of us wished from day one that they would be in place these pledges are now confirmed they're signed
29:35in public and you have therefore empowered americans to own their property which is their medical records
29:42let me introduce amy gleason she is acting director of doge um u.s digital service as well and was
29:48actually the brilliant woman who pulled together the pieces of this puzzle with so many members
29:52of the audience amy gleason good afternoon first i would like to thank president trump for his
30:04leadership in this area and secretary kennedy and administrator oz for driving this work with
30:10clarity and urgency i would also like to thank my colleagues who've been instrumental to this and we've
30:16worked a lot of late nights and the hard times on this and i it would not have been possible without
30:20them i want to start today with my daughter morgan who's here in the audience if you'd please stand up
30:27i am so inspired and energized by your strength every day and we also have two other patients here randy
30:33and tom who have been very inspiring and thank you for being here today you're why this all matters
30:38let me start talking about my daughter's history so 15 years ago she was diagnosed with a rare disease
30:46she was 11 years old and she started showing mysterious symptoms over the last year and a
30:52half after that she saw the country's best doctors but she still continued to get worse
30:58at some point she couldn't stand up off the floor or walk up the stairs and we still had no answers
31:04i carried a binder of paper records to every doctor's appointment so that i could keep them
31:09aligned and i truly believe that if one of those doctors had been able to see her whole history
31:14they would have diagnosed her faster and if we had just had today's ai then they could have connected
31:20the dots that the humans missed today morgan takes 21 pills a day gets two infusions a month and has
31:27over 40 patient portals her disease is very rare but her experience it's very common and that is what
31:36we're here to fix today too many patients are forced to remember all the doctors that they've been to and
31:41log into portal after portal repeating their story at every visit and they don't have the digital tools
31:46to help them stay well meanwhile every other part of our life is digital i can order groceries and have
31:52them delivered in minutes i get personalized recommendations on my other apps but in health
31:58care we still see it on paper and manual situations but today thanks to president trump we're changing
32:04that over 15 years we've tried to regulate our way to a better outcome and we have gotten a path forward
32:11but they have not delivered the modern health care experience that americans expect and deserve
32:16i'm so proud today that these 60 companies have voluntarily stepped forward to make a pledge to
32:22take action and to join us to say we're ready let's fix this we're in we're trying something different
32:29it's not regulation or rule making this is a voluntary alignment around a shared vision
32:34a commitment to work across boundaries across competitors and across silos we're bringing together
32:40data sharing networks electronic medical records doctors health systems payers and app developers
32:47and we're asking one simple question what can we do right now to make this work for patients
32:54the companies pledging today are agreeing to collaborate even with their direct competitors
32:59because they know we can't keep kicking the can down the road we have to stop talking about data
33:04interoperability and make the data flow here's something important not all patients
33:10will want these tools some will rely on their caregivers and other will others will rely on
33:14their doctors so they don't have to carry it themselves but no matter how people engage we
33:19must make sure it works for everyone cms is doing its part we're clearing the path for innovation by
33:26building the long overdue national provider directory a kind of digital map for health care that connects
33:31systems in real time and helps patients get more coordinated care we're also modernizing
33:37medicare.gov to feel more seamless and smart like other apps we use but the government can't do this
33:44and shouldn't do it alone these tools we need to make daily decisions must come from the private
33:48sector and that's why this is so important so let me tell you what this might look like after our
33:53collaborative effort so morgan in six months from now might show up to her doctor's appointment
33:58instead of filling out a clipboard with her 21 medications 12 doctors and her entire medical history
34:05she can just pull out her phone and tap or scan a qr code and seamlessly transfer her digital insurance
34:11card her verified medical record and a digital summary that could help her provider get up to speed
34:16faster we call this kill the clipboard as president trump said after the visit morgan opens her ai
34:23assistant a tool that she has authorized to access her records and ask what did the doctor say today
34:29what did these results mean what should i watch for now and the assistant responds using her actual
34:35health history explains her care plan in plain language helps her track her symptoms and even
34:40schedules follow-up visits if she needs them and lastly she has a new favorite app that helps her manage
34:46her chronic conditions because for years morgan has said what other patients say i only see a doctor
34:52a few days a year but i live with this disease every day today we're starting with apps that can support
34:58patients 24 hours a day from anywhere in the world they don't replace doctors they just fill in the gap
35:05between visits so that care is continuous and not episodic so what makes this effort different
35:11today we have all these apps that want to provide these services but they can't get the data because
35:16it is so hard for patients to access their records but today we have 18 network companies who are here
35:22pledging to fix the infrastructure that makes this possible they're doing this through modern data
35:27sharing networks that removes the burden on patients and providers and makes it available in real time
35:33using modern identity just like when you check in at the airport these honor patient privacy and
35:38transparency and most importantly it's a movement to work together to remove the friction that's holding
35:45us back because access to information shouldn't be a luxury it should be a standard so for all the morgans out
35:52there come join this movement with us at cms.gov let's kill the clipboard and ask the facts let's help
35:59make health tech great again or in this case maybe it's for the first time thank you president trump

36:45the last few months and that makes your job probably a little bit easy easier you're under very little
