Dr. Mehmet Oz, Trump's pick to lead Medicare and Medicaid, gets his Senate hearing

Dr. Mehmet Oz is set to appear before the Senate Finance committee Friday for his confirmation hearing to be the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, known for his television show "The Dr. Oz Show," has been nominated by former President Donald Trump to lead the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). His Senate confirmation hearing, which took place on March 14, 2025, focused on his qualifications, his views on healthcare policy, and his potential to manage one of the largest federal agencies. During the hearing, Oz faced questions about his past promotion of alternative medicine, his stance on healthcare reforms, and how he would address the ongoing challenges within Medicare and Medicaid, such as cost control, access to care, and the integration of new medical technologies. Senators from both parties scrutinized his lack of direct administrative experience in large governmental health programs, his previous controversial health advice, and his ability to navigate the complex political landscape of healthcare policy.
