Trump nominates Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead Medicare and Medicaid Services

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Oz is a physician and former host of "The Dr. Oz Show," which aired from 2009 to 2022. Oz's nomination follows Trump's recent appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of health and human services. Both figures have faced criticism for their views on health and medicine. Trump praised Oz's qualifications, stating he will focus on disease prevention and reducing waste in the healthcare system. Oz has won nine Daytime Emmy Awards for his work in television.
