Summary
The Senate confirmed Dr. Mehmet Oz as head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in a 53-45 party-line vote.
Oz will oversee healthcare for over half the U.S. population, including Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA programs, amid debates over Medicaid cuts.
He supports work requirements. Similar to RFK Jr., Oz promotes lifestyle changes and AI in healthcare.
