Summary
Dr. Mehmet Oz, TV personality and former Senate candidate, has been nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which oversees health coverage for over 160 million Americans.
Oz, a cardiothoracic surgeon and former host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” has faced criticism for promoting unproven medical treatments, including hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19.
The nomination comes amid contentious Medicare drug price negotiations under the Inflation Reduction Act, which are being challenged by pharmaceutical companies.
The role requires Senate confirmation.
Trump and his cronies want to privatize the world. That’s the end goal. Gut all government agencies and sell them off to Elon or some private equity firm. If you want to live in the future they’re building it’s gonna be pay to play. You want healthcare, pay for it. You want education, pay for it. You want oxygen, pay for it!
….and 76 million people voted for it. 76 million people have fucked over 260 million people all cause they drank the orange kool-aid.
