3 things Dr. Oz can do as CMS administrator to help fix American health care

Dr. Mehmet Oz, nominated by President-elect Trump to be the next CMS administrator, will have his hands full when he takes the reins of our agency that provides health insurance for over 140 million Americans and accounts for one quarter of the nation's budget. Through bold and principled leadership and effective communication, he holds the potential to make a positive, lasting difference. It's no secret our health care system is broken. We continue to spend more and more money without any clear return on investment when it comes to our nation's health and well-being. In fact, nearly 50% of Americans live with one chronic health condition, such as diabetes, hypertension, or obesity.
