Photograph: Hilary Swift/The New York TimesPresident-elect Donald Trump is nominating celebrity doctor and television personality Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The celebrity doctor ran for Senate in Pennsylvania in 2022, and with Trump’s endorsement defeated former Bridgewater Associates chief executive officer Dave McCormick in a fiercely contested Republican primary before losing to Democrat John Fetterman in the general election. The president-elect has long wanted to scrap the ACA, but when pressed on what he would seek to adopt in its place during a debate with vice-president Kamala Harris, his general-election opponent, Trump declined to offer specifics, saying only that he had the “concepts of a plan” in mind.
