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

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Mehmet Oz, a well-known television doctor, to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Trump praised Oz as an "eminent physician" and emphasized his qualifications in addressing America's healthcare issues. Oz will collaborate with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was recently appointed as Health and Human Services secretary. Both nominations require Senate confirmation. This nomination continues Trump's trend of selecting TV personalities for key positions, following other appointments like Pete Hegseth for defense secretary and Sean Duffy for transportation secretary.
