    Every time you think you’re in the Bad Place you realize you’re in the Worse Place

    Oz has been a major supporter of Medicare Advantage, the program’s private sector alternative that has grown in popularity but has come under intense scrutiny for care denials and alleged overbilling.

    So what the hell does CMS stand for? Shouldn’t the article mention that?

      It’s detailed in the last line, but CMS is Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

      As CMS Administrator, Oz would oversee a broad agency that provides coverage through Medicare, Medicaid and other programs to more than 160 million people.

        Ok, I know he’s full of crackpot shit.

        But what does Mehmet(lol) Oz think of Medicare and Medicaid? What is his stance?

        I get he’s going to push crazy tabloid products on seniors, but… the actual, coverage part. Got a mom.

          He’s promoted unproven medical treatments for personal gain, opposed the Affordable Care Act, and supports the expansion of advantage plans aka privatized/subsidized medicare. Pretty mainline republican, but all this likely means more money out of your mom’s pocket for care.

            Oh, I don’t doubt that. We’ve been lucky enough that most of her issues are pretty mainline common stuff and she has nothing exotic going on. Just diabetic and old. No miracles cures there.

            I feel for people with more complicated healthcare needs, who are in a position where one little law change could wreck their entire insurance plan, like people with home health needs or dialysis, or cancer treatment.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
