WASHINGTON —Better Medicare Alliance, the nation’s leading research and advocacy organization supporting Medicare Advantage, responded today to President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS):

“Better Medicare Alliance congratulates Dr. Mehmet Oz on his selection to serve as the next Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Dr. Oz recognizes the value of Medicare Advantage and the high-quality, affordable, and comprehensive health care it provides to more than 34 million seniors and individuals with disabilities,” said Mary Beth Donahue, President and CEO of Better Medicare Alliance. “Medicare Advantage delivers better health outcomes at a lower cost than Fee-For-Service Medicare, which is why more than half of Medicare beneficiaries now choose Medicare Advantage.
