Trump Nominates Television Quack Dr. Oz to Run Medicare and Medicaid - Futurism

Quick Summary:

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Mehmet Oz, the controversial television doctor and failed Senate candidate for Pennsylvania who has routinely platformed pseudoscientific and unproven medical treatments, to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS.

Oz is trained as a cardiothoracic surgeon and was once a professor and vice-chair of surgery at Columbia University — though Columbia has since attempted to distance itself from the weight-loss drug-slinging TV doc — but has no experience running government agencies or large healthcare or insurance programs.

But while Oz might hold a real medical license, his public life has largely been an exercise of using his license to award undue credence to quackery and pseudoscience, presented under the collective guise of overall healthy living.
