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.

He's a quack

 

[Lesh]

He's a quack

Yup

Perfect for the Trump Admin

Oz and RFK Jr. What a team of nitwits.

Trump continues to demonstrate his contempt for sound, responsible governance and the fact he’s unfit to be president.

 

[Billiejeens]

Of course you are.

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.

Dr. Oz’s Sad Trip Down the Rabbit Hole

It seems that Dr. Mehmet Oz’s transformation from respected surgeon to deplorable pseudoscience advocate is complete. He recently slandered Dr. Fauci as a “petty tyrant” and then called him “cowardly” for not taking the bait to get into a “doctor-to-doctor debate” with the surgeon-turned TV...

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

Strength in numbers

 

[Mac1958]

Could be worse...

Could be Dr. Phil...



Glass half full...?

This just gets more and more bizarre.

What in the world is going on?

 

[0311]

Yup

Perfect for the Trump Admin

He told people to eat horse past as a cure for COVID!

Nor Will Dr. Oz. He would be in charge of administering Medicaid/Medicare, not the FDA. The current administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has degrees in politics and public policies, not a medical degree. It is a non-medical political position.

 

[Zincwarrior]

The whole team of nominees is like a SNL parody of silly, worse case scenario picks. It's farcical.

Hard to find one who is not a quack on cable TV.

[struth]

It will be refreshing to have an actual Doctor that had to deal with treating people on the consumer end of Medicare wand Medicaid running thr program…

 

[Dekster]

A medical doctor running a government agency dealing with medicine instead of letting someone who is a career politician do it. How absolutely shocking.

You guys won't be happy until Trump appoints people like this:

the person in that job at the moment used to be an analyst at OMB, and later was a director at law firm in the health division of that firm. Never a politician, but instead experience in how health care spending operates.

Big insurance type, not someone that actually dealt with real practice with real people impacted

[lafayette]

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.

No problem with Oz in health care. Why not?

 

[Billiejeens]

No problem with Oz in health care. Why not?

That's his jam.

 

[Dekster]

No problem with Oz in health care. Why not?

It is not really a healthcare position. It is a more obscure medical billing administration services position.

Sounds like the libs have Islamophobia.

Oz would be the first Muslim to head these programs, but they will have nothing of it.
