Dr. Oz Nominated To Head Medicaid/Medicare. It's Gonna Be A Cluster F*ck..

[Joinfortmill]

Try to get your medications and appointments done as early as you can next year. Do what you can to keep yourself healthy. The only consolation is the horribly, stupid f*cks who voted for Trump are going to suffer with the rest of us.

Had to post on this f*cked up nomination. Now I'm heading back to stealth reading.

1. I am getting a new knee

The day before Thanksgiving.
My other knee is only marginally better so I may put it off and live with it. I am lucky, I have secondary insurance through my union, it may become my primary insurance.

2. Best of luck

3. I remember the time I removed a growth from my hand with some topical lidocaine, a knife, and a pair of tweezers

America, y'all are going to have to do your own medicine.

6. Gonna get rough

4. And Oz wants to privatize Medicare

Oz wants to completely privatize Medicare, handing it over to for-profit corporations notorious for delaying and denying care — a plan that's also in Project 2025.

Hands off our earned benefits!

BREAKING: Trump is nominating Dr. Mehmet Oz to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.

Oz was rejected to serve as Pennsylvania's Senator, and he'd be even worse in this position.

Trump has turned his cabinet into a bad reality show.

...before this shithead takes office.

15. Yes get all vaccines, procedures, surgeries while still available and affordable.

The people who voted for Trump will be told that the cuts are all the fault of the Dems.

They will not be told that the US is the richest nation in the history of the world
and can afford healthcare for older citizens who paid into SS and medicare their entire working lives.

18. Here is more on Oz being a quack

The caption states: “Canadian researchers analyzed 40 episodes of ‘The Dr. Oz Show’ and found that nearly 40% of the medical advice presented lacked a scientific basis, while 15% directly contradicted existing medical evidence.”

Fact-Check Analysis:

A study published in The BMJ in 2014 evaluated 40 episodes of “The Dr. Oz Show” and found that:

• 46% of the recommendations were supported by evidence.
• 15% were contradicted by evidence.
• 39% lacked evidence.

These findings align closely with the caption’s claim, indicating that approximately 40% of the advice lacked scientific backing, and 15% contradicted existing evidence. 

Conclusion:

The caption accurately reflects the study’s findings regarding the scientific validity of medical advice presented on “The Dr. Oz Show.”
