President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has sparked debate about healthcare reform.
Known for his TV show and medical expertise, Dr. Oz’s controversial media career contrasts with his roots as a heart surgeon.
With CMS serving over 140 million Americans, his appointment comes as the nation faces urgent health challenges, including rising costs and declining life expectancy.
Many hope his leadership can drive patient-focused reform, but questions remain about his ability to deliver meaningful change.
