    It’s detailed in the last line, but CMS is Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

    As CMS Administrator, Oz would oversee a broad agency that provides coverage through Medicare, Medicaid and other programs to more than 160 million people.

      Ok, I know he’s full of crackpot shit.

      But what does Mehmet(lol) Oz think of Medicare and Medicaid? What is his stance?

      I get he’s going to push crazy tabloid products on seniors, but… the actual, coverage part. Got a mom.
