Yes, thank you yet again! I became a certified PA in the mid 2000s when he was really taking off. At the time it barely occurred to me that any medical doctor would go so off course like this. Evidence based medicine helps ensure we maximize benefit and minimize harm, right? I didn’t understand the concept of a grifter. I was skeptical always, but it took me a few years to catch on to this wellness/psudoscience/grifter machine. Their voices are getting louder than ours, and your reminders that we’re on the right side of medicine and history are invaluable.
I am so concerned that he will have the power to deny Medicare treatments that don’t fit his crazy rubric, or that he could eliminate Medicare altogether. Seniors absolutely depend on Medicare. Who reaches 65 without needing medical attention or without having a preexisting condition that would disqualify them from obtaining private insurance. As for Dr Phil…as a psychologist, don’t get me started!
I know, it is incredibly concerning. I’m currently taking over POA for my “stepdad” who survives on SSI, Medicare, and Medicaid and I pay half his living expenses. If he loses coverage I won’t be able to afford to support him.

Once again, thank you!
Oprah has to answer for Dr. Oz AND Dr. Phil. Both unforgivable.
