PNHP national board secretary Dr. Ed Weisbart appeared on the CareTalk podcast on February 3, 2025. He discussed the dangerous nomination of Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and urged listeners to register for a “shadow hearing” hosted by PNHP alongside allies in the health justice movement.
“[Dr. Oz] wants to hand over Medicare to the for-profit insurance industry,” said Dr. Weisbart. “We know that’s an incredibly bad idea … We can’t let this happen.”
