Dr. Mehmet Oz faced tough questions today in his Senate confirmation hearing to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under President Donald Trump’s administration. Republicans praised him as a qualified leader ready to fix America’s broken healthcare system while Democrats attacked his financial ties and past comments about privatizing Medicare.
Oz earned strong Republican backing during the hearing thanks to decades of medical experience fighting chronic diseases plaguing American families—a key part of Trump’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda! Senator Mike Crapo highlighted Oz’s skills cutting through bureaucratic red tape during COVID-19 vaccine rollouts while promoting innovative treatments that put patients first instead of government mandates!
Democrats wasted no time attacking Oz over stock holdings linked to private health insurers like UnitedHealth Group—companies he would oversee if confirmed! Elizabeth Warren accused him of prioritizing profits over patients but failed to mention he already agreed months ago TO DIVEST all conflicting assets once sworn into office! Conservatives see this scrutiny as desperate political theater distracting from real reforms needed after years failing under Biden!
Questions swirled about unpaid Social Security taxes tied up in legal loopholes used by many small business owners nationwide! Liberals called it hypocrisy but experts confirm everything was perfectly LEGAL—just smart accounting helping hardworking entrepreneurs keep more earnings instead funding wasteful Washington programs!
Oz faced heat over old campaign remarks suggesting local leaders should weigh in on abortion decisions alongside doctors! Critics claim it threatens women’s rights but common-sense conservatives know states must protect innocent life against radical policies pushing late-term abortions paid by taxpayers!! Families deserve leaders defending traditional values not bowing left-wing activists!!
Medicare privatization fears dominated much debate despite clear evidence seniors LOVE their Advantage plans offering better coverage than outdated government-run options!! Oz supports expanding these popular private choices giving older Americans FREEDOM picking tailored care without DC bureaucrats dictating one-size-fits-all rules!!
The nominee stayed calm throughout heated exchanges promising transparency modernizing CMS while slashing bloated budgets harming rural hospitals nationwide!! His track record proves he can deliver quality affordable care faster than slow-moving federal agencies stuck last century!!
Final votes expected soon will likely confirm Dr.Oz thanks unified GOP support eager restoring fiscal sanity healthcare after disastrous Democrat rule bankrupting programs with open borders mass spending!!!
