Turkish-American doctor confirmed to lead Medicare, Medicaid
The U.S. Senate has confirmed Turkish-American doctor Mehmet Oz as the new head of Medicare and Medicaid.
In a tight 53-45 party-line vote, Oz secured approval to oversee America’s trillion-dollar health care programs, providing coverage for nearly half of the population.
Oz, previously a renowned heart surgeon at Columbia University, is stepping into this key role amid growing national worries about potential cuts by the Trump administration.
He describes himself as a spiritual Muslim.
Observers say his confirmation marks a significant moment in American health care leadership.
