Fetterman reacts to Oz being nominated for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

(WHTM) — Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Jon Fetterman took to social media to react to Dr. Mehmet Oz being nominated for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator role.

Taking to X, Fetterman wrote in a post on Tuesday that he would possibly vote for Oz, posting “If Dr. Oz is about protecting and preserving Medicare and Medicaid, I’m voting for the dude.”

Oz was selected on Tuesday by President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for the CMS Administrator role.

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services is the federal agency that provides health coverage to more than 160 million people through Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the Health Insurance Marketplace.
