Trump Appoints Dr. Oz to Lead Medicare and Medicaid Agency

President-elect Donald Trump has announced his intention to nominate Mehmet Oz, a former TV doctor and Senate candidate, to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Oz, who has faced criticism for promoting misleading health claims, would require Senate confirmation for the role. This nomination comes as CMS is involved in negotiating drug prices under the Inflation Reduction Act, a process currently challenged by pharmaceutical companies.
