Fetterman Open to Supporting Dr. Oz for Health Role Under Trump
TL;DR Summary
Dr. Mehmet Oz, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), is receiving support from Senate Republicans and some moderates, including his former political rival, Sen. John Fetterman. Despite concerns over Oz's promotion of unproven medical treatments and lack of federal experience, his medical background and support for Medicare Advantage are seen positively by some GOP senators. However, Democratic support remains uncertain, with some expressing skepticism about his qualifications and past endorsements of controversial health products.
