Summary

The Senate confirmed Dr. Mehmet Oz as head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in a 53-45 party-line vote.

Oz will oversee healthcare for over half the U.S. population, including Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA programs, amid debates over Medicaid cuts.

He supports work requirements for Medicaid recipients.

He’s also embraced RFK Jr.‘s campaign to redesign the country’s food supply, reject vaccine mandates, and cast doubt on some long-established scientific research.
