Registration: LIVE shadow hearing for Dr. Mehmet Oz
Watch LIVE as physicians, nurses, health care professionals and seniors warn Congress and the American people about Dr. Oz’s plans for Medicare.
President Trump has nominated Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which is responsible for administering health benefits for millions of Americans. Alarmingly, Dr. Oz has a long track record of promoting so-called “Medicare Advantage” plans, which are harmful to seniors, physicians, and taxpayers.
Dr. Oz’s confirmation hearing will be held in late January or early February in the Senate Finance Committee. Whenever the hearing is held, we will be there to provide live commentary and to share stories of how corporations like UnitedHealthcare cannot be trusted to administer Medicare benefits.
Primary sponsors for this shadow hearing include Physicians for a National Health Program and Social Security Works. Cosponsors include Be a Hero; Committee of Interns and Residents, SEIU; Cross-union Retirees Organizing Committee (CROC NYC); Healthcare-NOW; Labor Campaign for Single Payer; National Alliance for Retiree Healthcare; National Nurses United, People’s Action; Popular Democracy; and Students for a National Health Program.
