Donald Trump Nominates Dr. Mehmet Oz for Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services Role

As a seasoned moviegoer who has watched countless hours of medical dramas and documentaries, I must confess that the nomination of Dr. Mehmet Oz to be the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is reminiscent of a plot twist in one of those cheesy B-movies where a quack doctor suddenly becomes the head of healthcare services.


The newly elected President, Donald Trump, has proposed that TV personality, Dr. Mehmet Oz, takes on the role of head at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Dr. Oz serves as a cardiothoracic surgeon professor emeritus at Columbia University, and he hosted “The Dr. Oz Show” from 2009 to 2022. This daytime talk show covered topics like health, wellness, and on occasion, true crime. It was jointly produced by Harpo Studios, owned by Oprah Winfrey. Throughout his career, Dr. Oz has faced criticism from the medical community due to his endorsement of pseudoscience, homeopathy, and alternative treatments.

The TV show “Dr. Oz” concluded in 2022 following Dr. Oz’s bid for Pennsylvania’s Senate position as a Republican. However, he was defeated by Sen. John Fetterman. Interestingly, this nomination came shortly after Donald Trump appointed Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is known to question the effectiveness of vaccines, as potential head of Health and Human Services. Previously, Kennedy Jr.’s views on vaccine efficacy had been criticized during his appearance on “The Dr. Oz Show.

I am thrilled to propose that Dr. Mehmet Oz takes up the role as the Administrator at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Given the current Healthcare predicament America is grappling with, there might be no Doctor more suited than Dr. Oz to help ‘Make America Healthy Again.’ He is a renowned Physician, Heart Surgeon, Inventor, and Exceptional Communicator who has been championing healthy lifestyles for years. If appointed, Dr. Oz will collaborate closely with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the fight against the detrimental healthcare industry, aiming to combat chronic diseases it has left behind.” (Trump wrote on Tuesday)

He continued: “Our broken Healthcare System harms everyday Americans, and crushes our Country’s budget. Dr. Oz will be a leader in incentivizing Disease Prevention, so we get the best results in the World for every dollar we spend on Healthcare in our Great Country. He will also cut waste and fraud within our Country’s most expensive Government Agency, which is a third of our Nation’s Healthcare spend, and a quarter of our entire National Budget.”

Oz won a total of nine Daytime Emmy Awards for outstanding informative talk show and host.

For a long time, I’ve been acquainted with Dr. Oz, and I trust that he will strive tirelessly to deliver exceptional healthcare to all Americans, thereby helping our nation regain its strength and wellness.
