(TheConservativeTimes.org) – The healthcare establishment is in for a groundbreaking shake-up as President-elect Donald Trump boldly chose Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
This bombshell appointment seeks to prioritize disease prevention and tackle waste in the healthcare system.
Known for his long-running television talk show and background as a heart surgeon, Dr. Oz brings a unique blend of medical expertise and public communication skills to the role.
His appointment to lead CMS, which oversees Medicare, Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act insurance for over half the U.S. population, marks a departure from traditional bureaucratic choices.
The President-elect made his vision for healthcare reform clear: “Our broken Healthcare System harms everyday Americans, and crushes our Country’s budget.”
By appointing Dr. Oz, Trump aims to address these concerns head-on, focusing on disease prevention and reducing healthcare costs.
“Dr. Oz will work closely with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to take on the illness industrial complex, and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake,” Trump continued.
Trump also nominated Kennedy as Secretary of Health and Human Services, forming a powerful team to tackle America’s health challenges.
This duo is expected to bring a fresh perspective to healthcare policy, focusing on challenging established medical practices.
Critics have been quick to Dr. Oz’s controversial past statements or his promotion of alternative treatments.
However, his supporters argue that his outside-the-box thinking is exactly the much-needed reform that the system that has failed many Americans requires.
Dr. Oz’s experience in communicating complex medical information to the public could prove invaluable in educating Americans about healthier lifestyles and preventative care.
Trump explained his decision: “Dr. Oz will be a leader in incentivizing Disease Prevention, so we get the best results in the World for every dollar we spend on Healthcare in our Great Country.”
“He will also cut waste and fraud within our Country’s most expensive Government Agency, which is a third of our Nation’s Healthcare spend, and a quarter of our entire National Budget,” Trump added.
