What the hell is up with putting a TV guru in charge of Medicare? Yes, Dr. Oz, the same guy who sold miracle supplements between Oprah commercials, is now managing $1.5 trillion of our tax dollars.

Look at the irony of this mess…

The man who got destroyed by the Senate for promoting “magic cures” without scientific basis will now decide how we spend the healthcare money of 150 million Americans.

It’s like giving the bank keys to a con artist, except this time we’re talking about our lives.

I witness daily the drama of people choosing between paying rent or buying insulin. And what’s the solution they present us with?

A guy who got famous promoting hydroxychloroquine for COVID like it was candy.

Seriously, what the fuck?

Don’t get me wrong — the guy’s a Harvard-trained heart surgeon. But that’s exactly what makes this whole thing even more disgusting. He knows damn well the difference between evidence-based medicine and the bullshit he sold on TV.

He consciously chose the path of easy money.
