If they were, they’d be looking into overcharging by Medicare Advantage plans, private insurance that the government pays for.

Wonder what Dr. Oz has to say about that - oh wait, he’s invested in UnitedHealth Group, one of the largest providers of Medicare Advantage.

If the Dems want to follow Booker's lead and step up when it matters, this is a good starting point - to not confirm this idiot.

100% Medicare Advantage is corporate welfare and a giveaway to the private insurance industry and a takeaway from the taxpayer and weakens Medicare along several dimensions.

They want to turn all the positions into contractor positions. That will cost so much money!
Civil servants keep things consistent.
Civil servants rock!!!!!
