Empowering Aging Americans with Clear Guidance—And How American Exchange Helps Fill the Gaps
When a familiar face like Dr. Mehmet Oz turns 65, it’s more than just a celebrity milestone—it’s a national moment to spotlight the importance of Medicare enrollment. In partnership with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Dr. Oz recently launched a new series of educational videos designed to help Americans understand their Medicare options as they age into eligibility.
“I know firsthand how confusing it can be,” Dr. Oz shared. “It’s important that we provide tools so people can make the best healthcare decisions.”

A Growing Need for Clear, Accessible Education
Every day, about 10,000 Americans turn 65. With that comes the need to navigate a healthcare system that often feels like a maze. The new CMS video series breaks down topics such as the differences between Medicare Part A and B, what’s covered, when to enroll, and the penalties for late enrollment.
But while this initiative raises awareness, the journey doesn’t end there.
Filling the Gaps with Real Support
At American Exchange, we see this moment as part of a much bigger picture. For many individuals—especially those from underserved communities—understanding Medicare is just one piece of a broader health equity puzzle.
Many Americans struggle not just with Medicare decisions, but with ACA enrollment, Medicaid eligibility, or managing private insurance. For community health clinics, the need to guide patients through these systems—often with limited staff and funding—can be overwhelming.
That’s where American Exchange comes in.
