# Celebrity doctor and former TV host Mehmet Oz has been confirmed by the US Senate to run the Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency that oversees the healthcare of millions of Americans. The 64-year-old, whose approach to weight-loss drugs and miracle cures have come under scrutiny, trained as a surgeon before appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show in the early 2000s. After picking Oz, who has never held public office, Trump said there may be no physician more qualified and capable to make America healthy again.
