Mehmet Oz , a former cardiothoracic surgeon, is nominated to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services .

Oz says he will go after Medicare Advantage plans if they unfairly raise costs for the government.

Oz's nomination is a blow to the insurance industry.

He had at times been paid to promote Medicare Advantage on his show.

Democrats repeatedly pressured Oz on whether he would support House Republicans ’ plans to cut Medicaid .

Oz said he didn’t support requiring Medicaid beneficiaries to report work.

Oz also said Medicaid expansion makes sense for some states and not others, “as long as they have a plan to address their challenges of dealing with the underserved population”.
