Trump Appoints Dr. Oz to Oversee Medicare and Medicaid
Former television personality and heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz has been nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Oz, a MAGA supporter, will work alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to reform the programs, focusing on disease prevention and eliminating waste and fraud. This appointment follows the tenure of Chiquita Brooks-LaSure and replaces Seema Verma, whose time at CMS was marked by controversy. Oz’s appointment is expected to significantly impact healthcare policy for millions of Americans.
