A Donald Trump Oval Office clip drew online attention in Washington on Friday, 18 September, during a White House healthcare announcement. Journalist Aaron Rupar posted footage while CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz spoke, questioning whether the 80-year-old president was staying alert. The footage does not establish that Trump fell asleep or experienced a medical problem.
The event focused on the administration's GENEROUS Medicaid Payment Model and its most-favoured-nation approach to prescription drug prices. CMS said all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico had applied to participate. Forty states and Puerto Rico had signed agreements by Friday, with the remaining states given until 30 September.
