On Friday, during an audience, the senators pressed Dr. Mehmet Oz, the fame of television appointed to direct Medicare and Medicaid, on proposals led by the Republicans who would considerably affect healthcare coverage for almost half of all Americans.

Dr. Oz planted with the senators in a friendly atmosphere in a friendly atmosphere, a joker on basketball and allegiances to university teams. He has largely escaped the difficult questions on each side of the aisle, displaying his charm in the air while he diverts the most sharp concerns of Democrats concerning potentially radical changes in health coverage not only for 65 and over, but also for poor children.

Many senators seemed to be distracted by the fierce debate on the budget agreement of the Republicans to avoid a closure of the government, and they rushed in and outside the audience of Dr. Oz. But he is ready to cross the Senate to confirm as the next administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, an agency with 1.5 Billion of dollars in expenses.

Senator Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts democrat, made a big problem with her financial conflicts before the hearing. But during the session, she did not support it on these questions. Instead, she focused on her opinions on the question of whether the private health insurance plans of the government, an area where she and Dr. Oz seemed to agree on the need to fight against fraud and potential waste.

Throughout the hearing, he posted easy knowledge of a variety of relevant agency problems, although he has repeatedly returned to the responses in stock that he would need to study the subject more.

Several legislators, mainly Democrats, have tried to force Dr. Oz to express his opinions on the objectives of the Trump administration to reduce the costs of health care and agency budgets, but he has repeatedly upset these fields of mine.

“It is our patriotic duty to be in good health,” he told senators. “It costs a lot of money to take care of sick people who are sick because of life choices.”

This refrain complies with the Make America Healthy Again movement defended by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the new secretary of the Ministry of Health and Social Services, and the Boss who will soon be confirmed by Dr. Oz if he is confirmed.

Advantage and privatization of health insurance

The introductory remarks of Senator Ron Wyden, Oregon Democrat, have held a first promise of difficult questions. He accused Dr. Oz of having dodged nearly $ 500,000 in social security and health insurance taxes in recent years using a tax exemption linked to limited partnerships, which Democrats have concluded after examining Dr. Oz’s income statements. But there were no follow -up questions about this.

Wyden also raised the spectrum he was going to grill Dr. Oz on his link with TZ Insurance Solutions, a for-profit company that sells maladie insurance plans to older Americans. Dr. Oz was a relentless promoter of these private plans, which were criticized by legislators and regulators for Systemic overcharging And deny patient care, on its emission and the YouTube channel.

Dr. Oz, 64, is also a broker registered for TZ insurance in states across the country, according to a Recent investigation into his finances by the New York Times. Again, Mr. Wyden reported the problem and did not follow.

Despite the concerns of the Democrats that Dr. Oz would most likely have some of the rules intended to slow down the plans, he rather committed to strong surveillance. He recognized that some of the brokers now selling these plans were “barattage policies”, passing from people from one plan to another, that the change in coverage is benefiting.

“Some of this is to recognize that there is a new sheriff in town,” said Dr. Oz. “We must in fact go after places and areas where we do not manage the money of the American people well.”

Several times at the hearing, Dr. Oz responded to bipartite concerns as to whether the Medicare Advantage plans are too paid. In response to the questions of another doctor, Senator Bill Cassidy, a republican of Louisiana, Dr. Oz mentioned a study suggesting that the federal government spends more for the private alternative to Medicare than the program managed by the government. “It’s upside down,” he said.

“We must examine whether part of the money should be reimbursed to the American people,” said Dr. Oz.

He also expressed his interest in resolving part of the bipartite concerns concerning the use by insurers of the prior authorization for the approval of medical procedures by reducing the number of services which would be subject to the examination.

Republican plans to cut Medicaid

Democrats seemed very frustrated by Dr. Oz’s position towards Medicaid, the feet-state program which covers 72 million low-income Americans. “All my colleagues want to know, are you going to cut Medicaid?” Ask Senator Maria Cantwell, Washington Democrat.

But Dr. Oz, who has not talked much about the program that he would also supervise as a chief of the agency, did not respond directly. He said that he did not know the details of republican budgetary discussions, in which legislators are considering hundreds of billions of dollars in cuts that could cause people’s loss of coverage because it has become more difficult to register and that states had to assume the burden more.

Questioned by Senator Raphael Warnock, Democrat of Georgia, on republican efforts to add heavy monthly documents so that some people show that they should obtain advantages, Dr. Oz said he favored the Work requirements May Republicans want to limit eligibility. But he agreed with the senator to ensure that people who should be eligible for Medicaid have not been cut.

Dr. Oz and his supplement company

There were other subjects that the senators seemed to go away. For example, Dr. Oz has won tens of millions of dollars over the years to promote food supplements, often without any mention of its financial interest. It has been paid by many medical and health companies for presenting their products. Many of these companies would be affected by all the decisions he would make as a administrator of the centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and many already benefit from the financing of the agencies.

Senator Maggie Hassan, Democrat of New Hampshire, asked him to put a dollar figure exactly what he did by promoting supplements in his day television program. He said he hadn’t paid anything. He began to explain that Sony Pictures distributed the show and that it was the entity paid by these companies (which in turn paid him), but he was cut. In the end, Ms. Hassan could not extract something significant from him and continued.

Patient life and intrusion DOGE

At the hearing, Wyden pressed Dr. Oz about access to the so-called Elon Musk Government Ministry to Private Medical Information for Americans. Wyden raised concerns about the need to protect the privacy of people given the ministry’s potential capacity to visualize personal health and medical data. Despite his repeated questions, he said, the Trump administration had so far not answered these concerns. Surprisingly, Dr. Oz said he had not had discussions with the administration on what Mr. Musk’s team was doing when Inspection of agency information, but promised to “respond to what’s going on”.

Measles

Measles epidemic In Texas and New Mexico, strengthened concerns and made important criticisms of the response of Mr. Kennedy and the Trump administration. Senator Ben Ray Luján, Democrat of New Mexico, asked Dr. Oz if he thought that the measles vaccine was safe. Dr. Oz said he had done so, but when the senator followed by asking if it was effective, Dr. Oz is fell and said that judging individual vaccines and their recommendations for use would not be noted, but under that of the centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“My work, if confirmed, is to ensure that we pay these vaccines,” he said.
