President-elect Donald Trump tapped Dr Mehmet Oz to serve as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator. The physician, TV personality, and failed Pennsylvania Senate candidate is the latest addition to Trump’s list of controversial cabinet picks.

“I am very pleased to nominate Dr Mehmet Oz to serve as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator,” Trump announced on Tuesday afternoon. “America is facing a Healthcare Crisis, and there may be no Physician more qualified and capable than Dr. Oz to Make America Healthy Again.”

The 64-year-old will “work closely” with Robert F Kennedy Jr, who Trump nominated last week to serve as secretary of health and human services, “to take on the illness industrial complex, and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake,” the president-elect continued.

Trump listed Dr Oz’s pedigree, from his degrees to his daytime Emmys, writing: “I have known Dr. Oz for many years, and I am confident he will fight to ensure everyone in America receives the best possible Healthcare, so our Country can be Great and Healthy Again.”
