Social Media Reacts To Trump Nominating Dr. Oz To Run Medicare
HuffPost
One person joked that having the TV doc run Medicare was like "putting Tom Hanks in charge of NASA because he played an astronaut in Apollo 13."
Donald Trump has nominated yet another controversial personality to a position they are unqualified for, and, yes, people on social media have thoughts.
On Tuesday, the president-elect nominated former TV star and surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz to head the agency that oversees Medicare and Medicaid despite Oz’s history of promoting false medical info.
In a statement announcing the nomination, Trump said Oz will help incentivize disease prevention and “also cut waste and fraud within our Country’s most expensive Government Agency.”
Oz, who has been unemployed since a failed run for the Pennsylvania Senate seat now held by Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, seemed happy to be offered the gig.
In a post on X, he said he looked forward to “serving my country to Make America Healthy Again” under the leadership of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s choice to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
