Trump Wants to Nominate Dr. Mehmet Oz to Oversee Medicare and Medicaid

President-elect Donald J. Trump on Tuesday said that he would nominate Dr. Mehmet Oz, the author and former television host, to serve as the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a powerful agency that oversees health insurance programs covering more than 150 million Americans.

The selection of Dr. Oz, who lost to John Fetterman in 2022 in a race to represent Pennsylvania in the Senate, is likely to be seen as a major surprise, even in a health department that could be led by another unconventional pick, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. It also continued a trend of Mr. Trump selecting television personalities to oversee federal agencies. His candidates to run the Defense and Transportation Departments have been working for Fox News and Fox Business.

Add another person who was spewing nonsense about COVID to Team trump. Don's propensity for choosing TV talking heads, like the MTV guy for transportation, is downright hilarious. Or not. Who's is up next? Someone from NCIS Los Angeles to run the FBI?

Oz and RFK Jr. What a team of nitwits.

I'm okay with it. It isn't like he can screw up that bureaucracy worse. I am also okay with Duffy. That MTV guy had decent stints as a prosecutor and as a congressman. He only resigned because his new-born child had some potentially fatal health issues or else he would probably still be in Congress.
 
I'm okay with it.
Of course you are.

Class action over Labrada diet pills touted by Dr. Oz settled for $625,000


Dr. Oz Shouldn’t Be a Senator—or a Doctor

His brand of misinformation has already tarnished medicine. In the halls of Congress, he’d do much worse

Dr. Oz’s Sad Trip Down the Rabbit Hole

It is actually sad to see Dr. Oz degenerate into a pseudoscience-promoting political hack trying to gain favor with right-wing conspiracy theorists. He could have done so much good from the pulpit gifted him by Oprah.

At least RFK won't be alone in promoting quackery.

I remember when he was called before Congress and was basically told that he has a TV show with millions of viewers and you are promoting every snake oil product that pays you a buck to hawk it to your viewers.

A somewhat contrite Dr. Oz acknowledged their concerns but he remains a huckster and no doubt Trump finds this endearing.

I get what you're saying, sometimes things need a good shakeup, especially when government agencies have become calcified and corrupted by corporate influences.

I really don't mind someone like RFK Jr. shaking things up, he has brought litigation against corporate abusers in the past. He is a true wildcard, whereas Oz is like Trump, self promotion is the first order of business.

Great idea. Nothing is riding on it other than medical coverage for millions of elderly Americans.

I was gonna say he should get along great with RFK's brainworms.
 
The whole team of nominees is like a SNL parody of silly, worse case scenario picks. It's farcical.

Says the guy that voted for a man that thinks he’s a woman

Wow, the grasp that must come from a real doctor involved with Medicare and Medicaid

And a former DA, with 9 years in Congress who was on numerous committees, as the sec of transportation, instead of mayor of a small town

It’s not wonder Americans rejected your views
