Trump nominates Dr. 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, a former TV host and heart surgeon, aims to improve disease prevention and reduce waste in healthcare spending. Trump also selected Howard Lutnick, a Wall Street executive, to head the Commerce Department. Lutnick will oversee tariffs and trade policies, supporting Trump's agenda to protect American workers through increased tariffs on imports. Both nominations mark a shift in leadership for key government agencies, with Oz focusing on health insurance programs and Lutnick managing trade and economic policies.
