President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead Medicare and Medicaid could signal significant changes for the healthcare programs serving millions. While Trump's campaign promised to protect Medicare, experts speculate that Oz may prioritize Medicare Advantage plans, seek to eliminate waste and fraud, and potentially modify Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. However, major shifts such as increasing drug costs or touching the $2,000 cap for out-of-pocket drug expenses are less likely. The outcomes remain uncertain as Oz would need Senate confirmation and Congress's actions on telehealth and hospital-at-home services are pending.
