President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Mehmet Oz as the new Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This appointment comes as part of Trump's efforts to address what he calls a healthcare crisis in America. Dr. Oz will collaborate with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was recently nominated as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Together, they aim to tackle chronic diseases and improve healthcare efficiency. This nomination follows Dr. Oz's loss in the 2022 Pennsylvania Senate race. He has faced criticism for some of his medical claims but has been a long-time supporter of Trump.
