The Senate Finance Committee got its chance March 14 to question Mehmet Oz. He is President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the vast Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the largest agency within the Department of Health and Human Services. KFF Health discusses the Dr Oz confirmation hearing.
Oz, with his long history in television, was as polished as one would expect, brushing off even some more controversial parts of his past with apparent 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 provide an update on the progress of nominees to lead the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
