vegetaTrump picks Dr. Oz to be CMS administrator
PeppycitoSo what the hell does CMS stand for? Shouldn’t the article mention that?

GHiLAOk, I know he’s full of crackpot shit.
But what does Emmet(lol) Oz think of Medicare and Medicaid? What is his stance?
He’s promoted unproven medical treatments for personal gain, opposed the Affordable Care Act, and supports the expansion of advantage plans aka privatized/subsidized medicare. All this likely means more money out of your mom’s pocket for care.
Oh, I don’t doubt that. We’ve been lucky enough that most of her issues are pretty mainline common stuff and she has nothing exotic going on. Just diabetic and old. No miracles cures there.
I feel for people with more complicated healthcare needs, who are in a position where one little law change could wreck their entire insurance plan, like people with home health needs or dialysis, or cancer treatment.
