0:39Now PlayingMehmet Oz, President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead Medicare and Medicaid, told senators he would focus on chronic disease and improving the efficiency of federal health programs.
His remarks to the Senate Finance Committee show an early glimpse of his agenda if he’s confirmed to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which oversees $1.7 trillion in federal spending.
Oz, a surgeon and TV star, cited higher costs for American health care compared to other countries and inefficiencies. He called for “rethinking our outdated approach” to treating symptoms rather than underlying causes of disease.
He refused to commit to opposing cuts to the Medicaid health program for low-income Americans, despite prodding from Democratic senators. Republicans in Congress are eyeing cuts to federal spending on Medicaid to extend tax cuts passed during Trump’s first term.
