The Spin

Americans have long been contaminated by the healthcare establishment, which is why Dr. Oz is a great pick. He has spent his life publicly advocating for healthy living and after he and Kennedy are done with the bloated and inefficient health bureaucracy, itthese institutions will finally work for the benefit of the American people.

These Trump nominations are dangerous picks for US health leadership. Dr. Oz's history of promoting pseudoscience, unproven "miracle cures," and prioritizing entertainment over medical ethics undermines trust in evidence-based care. Conspiracy theorists and TV doctors should not be in charge of the health of 150M Americans.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 50% chance that at least 15.4% of the US federal budget will have been used for Medicare in 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
