I'm glad Dr. Oz will be in charge of Medicare and Medicaid. [View all]

Yes, he dabbles in dangerous pseudomedicine, but he's a high-profile name and everyone will know he is the man responsible if any of their benefits are cut. They will know, it's not Biden. It's not Kamala. It's Dr Oz, as appointed by Trump.

150 million Americans are on either Medicare or Medicaid, a big chunk Trumpers. Now Trump and the Republicans will own it. It's their brand. They are the ones saying it is broken and must be fixed. They have put a household name at the top, and they will pay the price in 2026 and 2028 for any changes that impact any part of that 150 million Americans.
