President-elect Donald Trump will nominate heart surgeon turned television personality and politician Mehmet Oz, MD, also known as Dr Oz, to lead CMS.
In a statement on his Truth Social account, Trump said there may be “no physician more qualified and capable than Dr Oz to make America healthy again.” He noted that Oz will work closely with Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who has been nominated to lead HHS, to “take on the illness industrial complex and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake.”
Trump added that Oz will “cut waste and fraud within our country’s most expensive government agency, which is a third of our nation’s health care spend and a quarter of our entire national budget.”
