In a Senate Finance Committee confirmation hearing Friday to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz would make no commitment to not cut Medicaid.
Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, asked the CMS nominee whether he would make cuts to the Medicaid program.
“I want to make sure patients have resources to protect them if they get ill,” Oz began to answer before Wyden cut him off, asking for a “yes” or “no” answer.
