President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday he was picking former talk show host Dr. Mehmet Oz to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Trump said in a statement that Oz, a cardiologist and Columbia University professor emeritus who unsuccessfully ran for the Senate in Pennsylvania two years ago, would work closely with Health and Human Services Secretary-designate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “to take on the illness industrial complex, and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake.”
“Dr. Oz will be a leader in incentivizing Disease Prevention, so we get the best results in the World for every dollar we spend on Healthcare in our Great Country,” added Trump, 78.
“He will also cut waste and fraud within our Country’s most expensive Government Agency, which is a third of our Nation’s Healthcare spend, and a quarter of our entire National Budget.”

Okay, opinions on this one? What am I missing here, because on the surface, I sure don’t see the good. Not with his position, if what I’ve read is true, on trans treatments.

I’ll link one article I found. As you will see, the author doesn’t think much of Dr. Oz. It looks like Oz at one time gave transition therapy a platform, but I don’t think he was in favor of children being transitioned, and he has come out against men who have “transitioned” competing in sports against women. Part of this probably was as a result of running for the Senate.
