Dr. Oz supported health insurance mandates and promoted Obamacare before Senate run
CNN
Before jumping into the Republican race for US Senate in Pennsylvania, Dr. Mehmet Oz regularly supported health insurance mandates and promoted Obamacare, taking positions that are unusual for a Republican candidate.
A review by CNN's KFile of hundreds of Oz's television, radio, print and social media appearances over more than a decade found that Oz has supported a health insurance mandate for "everyone ... to be in the system" and backed government-provided health care coverage for poor Americans and for minors. Of the health care systems he liked most, Oz has cited Germany's and Switzerland's, which utilize mandatory universal systems administered by private companies.
