On March 14, the Senate Finance Committee got its chance to question Mehmet Oz. Oz is Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the vast Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the largest agency within the Department of Health and Human Services.
KFF Health hosts discussed the confirmation hearing of Dr. Oz on the podcast.
Oz, with a long history in daytime television, was as polished as one would expect, brushing off even some of the more controversial parts of his past with ease.
In this special bonus episode of “What the Health?,” KFF Health News’ Rachana Pradhan and Stephanie Armour join host Julie Rovner to recap the Oz hearing.
They also provided an update on the progress of nominees picked to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
