Insurance companies and their political allies are trying to eviscerate and privatize Medicare and seniors and people with disabilities are suffering as a result. If Dr. Mehmet Oz is confirmed as the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), these attacks are likely to move into overdrive. Dr. Oz has endorsed expanding privatized Medicare, which would leave more Americans at the whim of greedy health insurance corporations. We should be strengthening Medicare by improving it, not weakening it through further privatization.
