Warren Statement on Senate Advancing Dr. Oz’s Nomination

Washington, D.C. –Following Senate Finance Republicans' vote to advance Dr. Mehmet Oz’s nomination for head of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the following statement:
“Dr. Oz’s plans to privatize Medicare would deliver worse care to 66 million Americans and waste billions of taxpayer dollars – all while giving giant insurance companies a fat paycheck. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are already gutting Social Security. The Trump administration does not care about America’s seniors.”
