honestly, at this point these appointments are meant to just be as stupid as fucking possible, to see how low congress will bend the knee before inevitably having to be strong-armed into supporting candidates who are *even worse*. and when medicare and medicaid get gutted to outright eliminated, you know who’s going to regret it the most? poor, low-information republicans.

Dr. Oz’s plan, “Medicare Advantage for All,” proposes replacing traditional Medicare with privatized insurance plans, which could lead to increased premiums and denied claims. This contrasts with traditional Medicare, which allows beneficiaries to use any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare and does not require prior authorization for services. While Medicare Advantage plans may offer additional benefits and lower premiums, they often have network restrictions and require referrals for specialists. Oz’s plan also involves a 20% payroll tax to fund the system, which is higher than current Medicare funding methods.

Every new appointment is just incrementally more fucking stupid than the last. Truly the clown car administration.

Dr Oz helped dumb down the electorate, so this makes sense.
Can’t wait for Medicare to cover essential oils.

Gotta say it stings to see this guy fail upward. We shut him out of the US Senate only to have him parachute into a cabinet nomination instead.
The cruelty is the point with these assholes. I will never forgive so much of America for being stupid enough to vote for any of this.

If traditional Medicare is eliminated it will entirely cripple the American medical system.

But of course. A grifter and conman who made a fortune promoting psuedo science.
Trump only killed a million people with his inaction on Covid. I dread to think what the toll will be by 2028 with the blatant promotion of fake medicine and the destruction of what health insurance there is.

This mother fucker is a huge reason my MIL died. She listened to him and Dr Axe and others and never went to the doctors. She died of atherosclerosis believing shitnpike medication makes it worse. She exercised and ate a good diet but sometimes you lose the genetic lottery and need meds. Dr Oz should be in prison for negligence knowingly pushing snake oil and promising people health.

Dr Oz put out a Medicare plan in 2020.
His plan was three parts:
1) Eliminate traditional Medicare entirely — no more guaranteed care, no more specialist visits.
2) A brand new 20% payroll tax for all wage earners
… which will pay for
3) Every single American to be enrolled in private “Medicare Advantage” plans — you know, those garbage plans that are rife with abuse and outright fraud [Office of Public Affairs | Cigna Group to Pay $172 Million to Resolve False Claims Act Allegations | United States Department of Justice](https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/cigna-group-pay-172-million-resolve-false-claims-act-allegations)
Their plan is to kill Medicare, take 20% out of your paychecks and stuff it all into the pockets of their rich friends.
