The Trump Administration
Official
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.
