WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump says he is nominating longtime talk show host Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

“Dr. Oz will be a leader in boosting disease prevention so we get the best results in the world for every dollar we spend on health care in our Great Country,” Trump said in a statement. “It will also reduce waste and fraud in our nation’s most expensive government agency, which accounts for one-third of our nation’s health care spending and one-quarter of the entire national budget.”

Oz ran unsuccessfully for Senate in Pennsylvania as a Republican in 2022 and as an outspoken Trump supporter.
