Celebrity doctor and former TV host Mehmet Oz has been confirmed by the US Senate to run the agency that oversees the healthcare of millions of Americans.
Oz, who has never held public office, was picked last year by President Donald Trump to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

I was wondering why this was posted in the TV community. Then I realized that an American TV show host (with no public policy experience) was assigned to run government programs. 🤣

I was very amused when I realised it wouldn’t break this community rules when posting this here but I’ll take it down if mods see a problem :)
