In a fiery confirmation hearing, Dr. Oz defended his background, clarifying statements made on television and promising to divest from companies that could pose conflicts of interest.

Pray for your fellow intercessor.
Oz laid out his plans for the agency, including potential reforms he is considering, during a confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Committee on Finance. The committee will soon vote on whether to advance Oz’s nomination to become the next director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services to the full Senate.
While Oz’s medical expertise was not widely challenged Friday, his motivations were. Dubbed “America’s Doctor” by Oprah Winfrey, Oz used his TV platform at times to promote alternative health remedies …
Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., sought to get Oz to admit that his promotion of certain supplements for weight loss, such as green coffee extract, were fraudulent. While Oz admitted green coffee extract is not a miracle weight loss drug, he argued that he never promoted it as such. …
Oz’s financial ties to a litany of companies spanning many corners of the healthcare sector, including nutrition supplements, has been a point of scrutiny for his detractors. In an ethics filing submitted in advance of the hearing, Oz indicated he would divest his holdings in more than 70 companies and investment funds that could pose potential conflicts of interest. …

Lord God, we praise you as you continue to seek out and anoint and appoint your chosen ones to lead this country. In Jesus name please guard over your anointing and your anointed ones. In this specific case, if Mehmet Oz is who who you have anointed to serve this country and further your kingdom in this country, then please keep your hand of favor upon him throughout these confirmation hearings.. We declare that no weapon formed against him will prevail. Please give him YOUR wisdom , and discernment in the name of Jesus Christ our savior
Lord, You are the One Who Sees and knows, so
I am lifting this nomination and all nominations to You.
Father ThankYou for putting in office Who You want to serve this nation. You see the heart, we do not, and like all nominees, we ask that You protect Mehmet Oz from every attack the enemy uses.
Thank You Father for hearing Your people and for Your direction and Your wisdom.
I also have reservations about Dr. Oz and I do not favor his appointment as the next director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. I have no confidence in his integrity or qualifications.I’m praying that the Lord put a better candidate in that office.
Father, may your will be done. If he is walking in deception and dishonesty, reveal that and do not bring him into the cabinet.
