He's a TV personality presenting himself as an expert. Never watched his show after 5 minutes because it was all BS. He does however have enough personality to influence the vulnerable weak-minded Americans looking for magic medicine.
Be forewarned.
I heard he refused to tell the Committee that he wouldn’t cut Medicaid - the program that keeps rural clinics open, keeps millions of children healthy and helps States (like Kentucky) deliver healthcare to millions.
this administration is our first openly fascist authoritarian administration and is flouting the constitution and judges rulings. I really hoped that there would be a quasi militaristic intervention and a temporary junta govt to give back to a real POTUS, like Kamala. I was wrong. Democrats wont.
all of you asking which dems voted for him: I included the link for a reason. it’s in the second sentence: “Oz became the agency’s administrator in a party-line 53-45 vote.”
Side note, whenever the vote breakdown doesn’t add to 100, I just wish they’d add “two senators, X of State and Y of State, were not present.” (Or, “Sen. Booker, recovering from his 25+ hr feat of badassery, was not at the capitol...” Etc)
People are rightfully suspicious of everything coming out of congress now. The blame is entirely on Republicans, folks. Cowards who talk a big game, like Lisa Murkowski who then turn around and confirm trump appointees and vote to approve trump bills. These people are betraying us, not democrats.
OMG If you think Dr Oz has no business being anywhere near Medicare and Medicaid please DO SOMETHING this Saturday April 5 by joining a Hands Off rally near you. There are over 1000 locations in the US. Find one at https://www.mobilize.us/handsoff/map/
Maybe. Or maybe they just have the good sense to start getting scared. People are starting to wake up to the fact that Trump is destroying the US. Cooperating with his administration will be considered the same as joining the Nazi party pretty soon.
He is the king of snake oils salesman. Every week the new magic “fat burning” supplement😂😂 NO supplement will BURN fat. What will is eating better and exercising smarter. You will NOTburn fat until after Glycogen Depletion. NOTHING burns fat exercise. Fat is fuel after Glycogen Depletion.
He is however a danger to Medicare because he has private investments in Medicare Advantage and wants to force everyone into the restricted for profit model
Thank you so much, Oprah. Also thanks to all your drooling, excitable followers at yr TV circus hoping for a big, free prize. Way to spread happiness Ms O. Now relax on your big Montecito spread while the rest of us have to deal with his greed and attention seeking in our government. Yuck!!
I knew she would regret ending her show. It gave her immense power. It was clear she deluded herself into thinking the famous people she interviewed really liked her. When she stopped doing the show she found out quickly when her calls were no longer returned.
Amazing that even Fetterman voted no. Oz has gotten about a hundred years older in the last couple of years, too. I didn't even recognize him he's aged so much.
Meanwhile while you all are freaking out about your retirement funds being sucked dry by the fn orange shithead, your medicaid and medicare will be next and overseen by another Oprah created white male snake oil salesman.
Thank you! I blame his ugly arse on her fake, greedy arse! Richest woman in this country, STILL panhandling fake diet pills. And everybody just thinks she's ahh-mazing🙄
This is the “Simple Jack” administration. The fact that Dr. Oz is an actual doctor who has worked in actual hospitals means that, unlike the others and despite his many flaws, he can cosplay himself.
Oprah is very flawed.... don't forget John of God cult guru rapist. And the shit she was pulling with the land grab after the fires in Hawaii. Never mind her never-ending promotion of diet and weight loss, self-loathing industry.
He only tortured and put to death 2500 beagles at his heart research lab at Columbia Medical Center and his research never produced not even a scholarly paper in any reputable medical journal. Columbia was happy to finally get rid of him when he ran for the Senate.
Yeah, I picked up a thing or two from Dr. Oz, but a lot of the time he was definitely a quack. I need a flu shot every year, so this is good. Sometimes he made mistakes, obviously. He seemed to believe what he said.
This whole administration is just a bunch of vile lunatics. I hope I live to see all of maga burned down to ashes and thrown into the dust bin of history.
We might as well accept we are going to die probably painfully with no available care because these goons hate the idea of people poorer than them being healthy and alive.
As a healthcare worker, I haven't been able to get the CMS site to work since DOGE got access. Now I have to deal with this corporate moron running the department? FML.
I know what you’re talking about. Winfrey hasn’t had a talk show in about 15 years. The people responsible for this are the people who voted for Trump and the people who didn’t bother to vote. If US voters can’t figure this out then there’s no hope for us, ever. There’s no one else to blame.
Oz may or may not be anti-vac but he is happy to promote charlatans and their BS products who are anti-vax. Given the position he is now in, he may as well be.

Be forewarned.
Hmmmm, where have I heard that before?
It always makes my brain itch.
#fetterman sold out for cash.

Definitely not a role for someone with a resounding lack of empathy.

I refuse to call either of them Doctors
Not remotely surprised but…

the only time he has ever chosen to speak factually it was in service of the grift
he is the bad guy, not the sympathetic outsider
Roger Marshall
Bill Cassidy
Rand Paul
John Barrasso
Oh wait...maybe not. Some of THAT would require self reflection-yeah he's good
