Mehmet Oz, the doctor and TV personality known as Dr. Oz, has started meeting with senators to garner support for his nomination to lead CMS. Oz was on Capitol Hill Tuesday and told POLITICO he met with key moderate Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.). His visit coincided with the Senate Finance Committee's narrow vote to advance Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination to serve as HHS secretary. The Finance Committee will also decide whether Oz will lead CMS. President Donald Trump named Oz to lead CMS in November.
