CMS chief says Trump’s routine exam shows excellent health

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz hosted the White House press briefing on Tuesday, where he was asked about the frequency of President Donald Trump's medical examinations. Oz stated that the president's latest checkup was a routine exam and that Trump remains in excellent health.

When a reporter noted this was Trump's fourth exam since taking office in January 2025 and asked why he undergoes them so frequently if he is in perfect health, Oz replied that he believes the president likes the results. Oz said Trump "does really well" and "aces the test every single day," adding that he is also curious to ensure his health is on the right track. The administrator referenced Trump's appearance on his television show a decade ago, stating he was "stunned" then by the president's health metrics and that current records remain "spectacular."

The briefing occurred as several cabinet officials testified before Congress on budgetary and foreign policy matters. Secretary of State Marco Rubio faced pointed questioning in back-to-back hearings before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a House Appropriations subcommittee.
