Bhopal Updates: Winter Games For Specially-Abled Children Held; BBRG Holds Cycle Rally To Bhimbetka
Darius Tahir | (TNS) KFF Health News President-elect Donald Trump’s choice to run the sprawling government agency that administers Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act marketplace — celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz — recently held broad investments in health care, tech, and food companies that would pose significant conflicts of interest. Oz’s holdings, some shared with family, included a stake in UnitedHealth Group worth as much as $600,000, as well as shares of pharmaceutical firms and tech companies with business in the health care sector, such as Amazon. Collectively, Oz’s investments total tens of millions of dollars, according to financial disclosures he filed during his failed 2022 run for a Pennsylvania U.S. Senate seat. Trump said Tuesday he would nominate Oz as administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The agency’s scope is huge: CMS oversees coverage for more than 160 million Americans, nearly half the population. Medicare alone accounts for approximately $1 trillion in annual spending, with over 67 million enrollees. UnitedHealth Group is one of the largest health care companies in the nation and arguably the most important business partner of CMS, through which it is the leading provider of commercial health plans available to Medicare beneficiaries. UnitedHealth also offers managed-care plans under Medicaid, the joint state-federal program for low-income people, and sells plans on government-run marketplaces set up via the Affordable Care Act. Oz also had smaller stakes in CVS Health, which now includes the insurer Aetna, and in the insurer Cigna. It’s not clear if Oz, a heart surgeon by training, still holds investments in health care companies, or if he would divest his shares or otherwise seek to mitigate conflicts of interest should he be confirmed by the Senate. Reached by phone on Wednesday, he said he was in a Zoom meeting and declined to comment. An assistant did not reply to an email message with detailed questions. “It’s obvious that over the years he’s cultivated an interest in the pharmaceutical industry and the insurance industry,” said Peter Lurie, president of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a watchdog group. “That raises a question of whether he can be trusted to act on behalf of the American people.” (The publisher of KFF Health News, David Rousseau, is on the CSPI board .) Oz used his TikTok page on multiple occasions in November to praise Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including their efforts to take on the “illness-industrial complex,” and he slammed “so-called experts like the big medical societies” for dishing out what he called bad nutritional advice. Oz’s positions on health policy have been chameleonic; in 2010, he cut an ad urging Californians to sign up for insurance under President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, telling viewers they had a “historic opportunity.” Oz’s 2022 financial disclosures show that the television star invested a substantial part of his wealth in health care and food firms. Were he confirmed to run CMS, his job would involve interacting with giants of the industry that have contributed to his wealth. Given the breadth of his investments, it would be difficult for Oz to recuse himself from matters affecting his assets, if he still holds them. “He could spend his time in a rocking chair” if that happened, Lurie said. In the past, nominees for government positions with similar potential conflicts of interest have chosen to sell the assets or otherwise divest themselves. For instance, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Attorney General Merrick Garland agreed to divest their holdings in relevant, publicly traded companies when they joined the Biden administration. Trump, however, declined in his first term to relinquish control of his own companies and other assets while in office, and he isn’t expected to do so in his second term. He has not publicly indicated concern about his subordinates’ financial holdings. CMS’ main job is to administer Medicare. About half of new enrollees now choose Medicare Advantage, in which commercial insurers provide their health coverage, instead of the traditional, government-run program, according to an analysis from KFF, a health information nonprofit that includes KFF Health News. Proponents of Medicare Advantage say the private plans offer more compelling services than the government and better manage the costs of care. Critics note that Medicare Advantage plans have a long history of costing taxpayers more than the traditional program. UnitedHealth, CVS, and Cigna are all substantial players in the Medicare Advantage market. It’s not always a good relationship with the government. The Department of Justice filed a 2017 complaint against UnitedHealth alleging the company used false information to inflate charges to the government. The case is ongoing. Oz is an enthusiastic proponent of Medicare Advantage. In 2020, he proposed offering Medicare Advantage to all; during his Senate run, he offered a more general pledge to expand those plans. After Trump announced Oz’s nomination for CMS, Jeffrey Singer, a senior fellow at the libertarian-leaning Cato Institute, said he was “uncertain about Dr. Oz’s familiarity with health care financing and economics.” Singer said Oz’s Medicare Advantage proposal could require large new taxes — perhaps a 20% payroll tax — to implement. Oz has gotten a mixed reception from elsewhere in Washington. Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, the Democrat who defeated Oz in 2022, signaled he’d potentially support his appointment to CMS. “If Dr. Oz is about protecting and preserving Medicare and Medicaid, I’m voting for the dude,” he said on the social platform X. Oz’s investments in companies doing business with the federal government don’t end with big insurers. He and his family also hold hospital stocks, according to his 2022 disclosure, as well as a stake in Amazon worth as much as nearly $2.4 million. (Candidates for federal office are required to disclose a broad range of values for their holdings, not a specific figure.) Amazon operates an internet pharmacy, and the company announced in June that its subscription service is available to Medicare enrollees. It also owns a primary care service , One Medical, that accepts Medicare and “select” Medicare Advantage plans. Oz was also directly invested in several large pharmaceutical companies and, through investments in venture capital funds, indirectly invested in other biotech and vaccine firms. Big Pharma has been a frequent target of criticism and sometimes conspiracy theories from Trump and his allies. Kennedy, whom Trump has said he’ll nominate to be Health and Human Services secretary, is a longtime anti-vaccine activist. During the Biden administration, Congress gave Medicare authority to negotiate with drug companies over their prices. CMS initially selected 10 drugs. Those drugs collectively accounted for $50.5 billion in spending between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023, under Medicare’s Part D prescription drug benefit. At least four of those 10 medications are manufactured by companies in which Oz held stock, worth as much as about $50,000.

For example, as of 2022, Oz held investments worth as much as $6 million in fertility treatment providers. To counter fears that politicians who oppose abortion would ban in vitro fertilization, Trump floated during his campaign making in vitro fertilization treatment free. It’s unclear whether the government would pay for the services. In his TikTok videos from earlier in November, Oz echoed attacks on the food industry by Kennedy and other figures in his “Make America Healthy Again” movement. They blame processed foods and underregulation of the industry for the poor health of many Americans, concerns shared by many Democrats and more mainstream experts. But in 2022, Oz owned stakes worth as much as $80,000 in Domino’s Pizza, Pepsi, and US Foods, as well as more substantial investments in other parts of the food chain, including cattle; Oz reported investments worth as much as $5.5 million in a farm and livestock, as well as a stake in a dairy-free milk startup. He was also indirectly invested in the restaurant chain Epic Burger. One of his largest investments was in the Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain Wawa, which sells fast food and all manner of ultra-processed snacks. Oz and his wife reported a stake in the company, beloved by many Pennsylvanians, worth as much as $30 million. ©2024 KFF Health News. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Manchester United fans look back fondly on the Sir Alex Ferguson era at Old Trafford, especially given the club's dramatic fall from grace since the iconic Scot retired. British football's most successful manager called time on his trophy-laden career in 2013 after spending 27 years at Old Trafford, during which time he won 38 major trophies. Ferguson knew how to transform some of the best young talent from the club's youth academy into world superstars. He oversaw the development of David Beckham , Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes , who became three of the best players in Premier League history. Many high-profile signings were made during Ferguson's reign, helping him continuously dominate English football. Rival fans grew irritated seeing the Premier League's most entertaining and formidable forwards head to the 13-time champions. One of those was a tricky 22-year-old Argentinian attacker named Carlos Tevez , who joined the Red Devils from West Ham United in 2007 on a two-year loan deal. He quickly became a fan favourite at the Theatre of Dreams, winning the UEFA Champions League , two Premier League titles, the FIFA Club World Cup, and the League Cup twice. Yet, the fairytale move many anticipated ended in tears as Tevez and Ferguson came to loggerheads. Instead of making the loan deal permanent, the feisty forward made a controversial move to then-noisy neighbours Manchester City . This is the story of the 76-cap Argentina international's unceremonious exit told from his perspective. The former Man United striker has refused to get cosmetic surgery as the neck scars and mangled teeth pay homage to his humble Buenos Aires upbringing Carlos Tevez's trust issues with Ferguson laid bare Tevez joined Manchester United off the back of helping West Ham avoid relegation and carried his impressive Hammers form to Old Trafford. He was part of a frightening attack that boasted Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo as the Reds marched towards Champions League glory. Ferguson didn't rest on his laurels and further bolstered his attack with the addition of Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham Hotspur in September 2008. That transfer occurred a year into Tevez's United spell and brought with it trouble because of the Scot's apparent promises. Tevez delved into his departure and how he felt hurt by the events. He told ESPN (via TyC Sports ): I didn’t have to think about it too much because I was angry with Ferguson. As a coach he’s a phenomenon, he was at a club like United for such a long time. But I had a situation with him. The Argentinian ace suggested there was a lack of movement in talks over making his loan move permanent despite Ferguson initially stating the club's intentions to do so: (He told me) we’re going to buy you, but I’m going to bring [Dimitar] Berbatov. Don’t worry, I’m going to bring him to compete with you. But we’re going to talk to your agent to agree on the contract and the transfer. (But) they didn’t call my agent, nothing. Time was passing. They started to want to lower my price. I was performing every time I came on and people started to shout my name. It was a year-long process of eating it up. Tevez grew frustrated with the situation and agreed to move to arch-rivals Manchester City before United's 2-0 defeat to Barcelona in the 2009 Champions League final: I had more or less agreed with the Sheikh that after the game, I would take a private plane, go with my family to Abu Dhabi to meet him and to settle the contract with City, all before the final with United. It was like a dagger for him (Ferguson). And for me too, because I loved United. But for me he didn’t deliver all year, he made me suffer. It hurt me a lot, because I loved United. During his illustrious reign, Tevez's contentious exit wasn't the first high-profile falling out between a player and Ferguson. There was a running theme of world-class superstars making way because of issues with the 82-year-old. Tevez's two-year spell at Old Trafford was a success, with the versatile striker scoring 34 goals and making 14 assists in 99 games. However, the circumstances of his departure and his decision to join City upon their journey towards claiming power in Manchester will forever mar his Red Devils stint. From Sergio Aguero to Alisson Becker, there have been plenty of South American talents in the Premier League. Tevez's troublemaking led to rift with Roberto Mancini Tevez enjoyed four years at City after permanently switching to the Blue side of Manchester for £25.5 million in 2009. He was one of the biggest names to join the Cityzens at the start of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan's ownership, which would lead to unimaginable success. A massive poster of Tevez celebrating with the caption 'Welcome to Manchester' was produced in Manchester city centre. He'd make 148 appearances, register 73 goals and 32 assists, and win the Premier League title at United's expense. However, trouble in paradise arrived in 2011 when Tevez clashed with ex-City boss Roberto Mancini . He refused to come on as a substitute in a 2-0 loss away to Bayern Munich in the Champions League. The Italian ripped into the Argentinian for a perceived lack of professionalism (via Sky Sports ): If I have my way he will be out of the club. He just refused to go on. I don't know why. I cannot be happy with this situation. Would something like this happen at Bayern Munich, AC Milan or Manchester United? Tevez missed six months of action with City due to his indiscipline, which he put down to miscommunication. He was reinstated into Mancini's team the following season but left the Cityzens for Serie A giants Juventus in July 2013. Cristiano Ronaldo, Raheem Sterling and Paul Scholes all refused to play for their clubs at one stage. All statistics courtesy of Transfermarkt as of 20/11/2024.
