Trump Names Dr. Mehmet Oz to Head Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Dr. Oz, a celebrity heart surgeon and TV personality, has been appointed by President Trump to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
The CMS is a federal agency that oversees the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which provide health insurance to millions of Americans.
Dr. Oz is a well-known figure in the medical community, having hosted the popular TV show "The Dr. Oz Show" for over a decade. He is also a best-selling author of health and wellness books.
Dr. Oz's appointment has been met with mixed reactions. Some have praised his appointment, saying that he will bring fresh ideas to the CMS and help improve the quality of care for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries.
Others have expressed concern about Dr. Oz's lack of experience in government and his history of promoting controversial health claims. They worry that he may not be qualified to lead the CMS and that his appointment could politicize the agency.
Dr. Oz has said that he is committed to serving the American people and improving the quality of care for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. He has also said that he will listen to the concerns of all stakeholders and work to find common ground.
