Trump nominates Dr. Oz to lead Medicare and Medicaid Services

Donald Trump has nominated Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Oz, a controversial television doctor, was previously rejected by voters in 2022 for a Senate seat in Pennsylvania. If confirmed, Oz will work alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who Trump nominated to head the Department of Health and Human Services. Both figures have faced criticism for their health-related views and practices. Trump's announcement included plans to address waste and fraud in Medicare and Medicaid, which provide health insurance to many Americans. This nomination continues Trump's trend of selecting media personalities for key government positions.
