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.
I’m waiting for Trump to put Andrew Tate in charge of promoting women’s rights.
Fuck the kakistocracy.
They really went out of their way to appoint the worst possible person for each job.
Thanks Oprah for platforming this fucker, along with Phil and John of God.
Let’s be honest, it was just going to be some other fucknut if not him
The only way this works for the republicans is if we never have any elections again. Looks like they are planning to gut social security and medicare. So they are absolutely gearing up for no future votes.
Fucking Christ. This timeline gets stupider and stupider.
Going to have The Kardashians run the Department of Energy.
and Shia Lebeouf for ambassador to the UN. Pee Wee Herman for chairman of the joint chiefs. Gal Gadot for secretary of interior. What we really need is Steven Segal back. Maybe trump can ask his daddy for that. I imagine Putin is ready to toss him by now.
What a joke. Embarrassing.
Oh, yay! I can’t wait for my coverage to include dietary supplements. If I’m lucky, maybe I’ll even get to keep coverage for something I actually need to live.
If we get out of this maga morons need to be held accountable
Remember folks, drink your own urine!
Great now I’ve got both Fetterman AND Oz in my damn government
