Dr. Mehmet Oz, currently serving as the head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), stated that recent congressional actions have prevented Medicaid from facing bankruptcy. He emphasized the importance of preserving Medicare and Medicaid as essential components of the social safety net, highlighting concerns about workforce shortages and the need for people to seek employment. Oz and other CMS leaders, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have expressed support for private practice physicians, aiming to maintain access to care for Medicare patients. In a public address, Dr. Oz advised Medicaid recipients to maintain their health by avoiding unhealthy foods, specifically mentioning carrot cake as an example, urging people to eat real food and stay vital to fully realize their potential.
"You’ve got to stay healthy, as well. Be vital. Do the most you can do to really live up to … your God-given potential to live a full and healthy life. Don’t eat carrot cake.” 🔗 https://t.co/395oQCwPwc https://t.co/A6lrQ2gtY7
