President Trump picks the Wizard of Oz

When President-elect Donald Trump picked Dr. Mehmet Oz for a powerful executive branch job overseeing Medicare, incoming Senate Finance Committee Chair Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, quickly praised the TV-famous physician and said, “Dr. Oz has been an advocate for providing consumers with the information necessary to make their own health care decisions.”

Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla. also praised Oz. “We need somebody to be transformative,” Lankford said.

As the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator, Dr. Oz would carry out President Trump’s vision.



 
President Trump said Dr. Oz will work closely with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been nominated to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

President Trump said that Oz will incentivize disease prevention “so we get the best results in the world for every dollar we spend on healthcare.” President Trump added that Dr. Oz would “cut waste and fraud in our country’s most expensive government agency. "Our broken healthcare system harms everyday Americans, and crushes our country’s budget."


 
Is Mehmet Oz still an officer in a foreign military? He may have technically lost his citizenship by joining a foreign military as a commissioned officer.
