Does Trump’s Pick to Lead Medicare Want to End Medicare?

FEATURING EAGAN KEMP - Incoming President Donald Trump has picked TV celebrity Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The Center for Science in the Public Interest has denounced him for being “famous for promoting medicines and supplements that do not do what Oz says they do.” And, Public Citizen has pointed out his direct conflict of interest in overseeing CMS as an advocate of expanding Medicare Advantage. Dr. Oz owns significant shares in UnitedHealth Group, a private insurance company notorious for denying claims and making money off Medicare Advantage.
