62] – Healthcare NOW [info@healthcare-now.org]
is holding a shadow hearing at the same time as the official one to expose the
truth about Dr. Oz on Fri., March 14 at 9 AM ET. When famed TV con man Dr. Oz failed in his
bid to get elected to the US Senate in 2022, one might have thought that would
be the end of his political career. But in Trump’s America, that kind of
failure is rewarded, and Dr. Oz could become the Director of the Center for
Medicare and Medicaid Services. Oz’s
official confirmation hearing is in front of the Senate Finance committee. Sign up here to join the Shadow Hearing
