The CMS oversees the country's largest healthcare programs, providing coverage to roughly half of Americans. It regulates health insurance and sets policy that guides the prices that doctors, hospitals and drug companies are paid for medical services. Are you concerned that Dr. Oz could make changes that negatively impact the healthcare system as head of CMS? Yes
