Sanders tells Oz it's not 'cool' that robots performing ultrasounds in Alabama

[RandySF]

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Friday told Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Mehmet Oz that it is not “cool” that robots are performing ultrasounds in Alabama, after Oz brought up the subject at the White House earlier in the day.

Oz joined President Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to tout rural health in the U.S. Oz said there are no OB-GYNs in most Alabama counties, “so they’re doing something pretty cool. They’re actually having robots do ultrasounds on these pregnant moms.”

“No, Dr. Oz. It is not ‘cool’ that we don’t have OBGYN’s in many rural counties in America. It is an international embarrassment,” Sanders wrote in a post on the social platform X. “In the richest country on earth, we need more doctors, nurses, dentists and mental health counselors, not more robots.”

Oz’s remarks are based on the CMS’s “rural health transformation program,” which contains project abstracts for all 50 states. States were required to provide summaries of their proposed projects with a projected funding amount awarded by the federal government.


PERSONAL NOTE: Doug Jones, the DGA and the Alabama Democratic Party should run with this.

3. Robots and AI are the MAGA plan for American healthcare.

I've heard Oz talk about this. He has a bunch of young men running HHS and putting these policies in motion.

AI and weight loss drugs. That's their only plan for healthcare.

Hey, that not fair.

They've also brought us cures for erectile disfunction and male pattern balding.

Truly a great time to be alive.

4. Twice....that's how many times I watched this video with Oz.

I couldn’t believe what I heard the first time. Shameful!

5. Thankyou Sen. Sanders. Now ALL Dems should be speaking up about the lack of OB services

in Republican states that have passed laws that prevent Doctors and medical teams from carrying for pregnant women.

6. Number one, only the very wealthy women can leave the country for medical treatment.

The rest of us would be screened by a robot or untrained person at the border for signs of an abortion upon return. Every unpregnant woman would be held indefinitely! A more humane and efficient proposal is robots performing castrations on males to prevent pregnancies. There’s something about a panel of men talking about a cool thing to do to women that turns my stomach.
