In a moment that has social media buzzing, Dr. Mehmet Oz — the famed television doctor and current head of Medicare and Medicaid Services — stunned reporters Thursday when he told Americans to “make lots of Trump babies” before the 2026 midterm elections.
The remark came during an Oval Office event with President Donald J. Trump, who was unveiling his new plan to slash prescription drug prices and restore fairness to American healthcare. The plan, known as the Most-Favored Nation Pricing Rule, ensures that Americans pay no more for life-saving medications than citizens in other developed nations.
Dr. Oz Praises Trump’s Focus on Forgotten Americans
Dr. Oz took the stage following Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who discussed the nation’s obesity crisis and the President’s push to make America healthier.
“President Trump, you won the election because you remembered the forgotten man,” Oz said. “Half of all chronic diseases are linked to obesity — and under your leadership, we’re finally addressing it head-on.”
The doctor credited the Trump administration’s focus on health and family, calling it the first real effort in years to make medical care affordable and put American families first.
‘Make America Healthy Again’ — and Growing Again
Praising Secretary Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” campaign, Oz connected the discussion on health to the nation’s need for strong families and future generations.
“President Trump highlighted the first three major drug reforms — and now with lower fertility drug prices, I’m hoping we’ll see lots of Trump babies by the midterms,” Oz said with a smile, drawing laughter from attendees.
Behind the humor, Oz touched on a serious issue: America’s declining birth rate. Many conservatives have warned that high costs and cultural pressures have discouraged young families from having children. Trump’s health and economic policies aim to reverse that trend, helping more Americans afford both healthcare and family life.
Trump’s Focus on Health, Family, and Faith
The President’s reforms continue his broader mission — to rebuild the American Dream through lower costs, renewed patriotism, and restored family values. By aligning drug prices with other countries, Trump’s team says they’ll save seniors billions and help younger families thrive.
The event briefly paused after a minor medical episode among attendees, but President Trump remained calm and focused, reaffirming his commitment to the American people.
For millions of conservatives, the moment symbolized something bigger — a call to revive faith, family, and freedom in a nation that has too often been divided by politics.
