Scott Gottlieb: Dr. Marty Makary Is a Good Pick, I Have Confidence in Him

EXCERPT:

GOTTLIEB: "Marty Makary at FDA, I have confidence in him. I do think Oz can be a transformative pick at CMS, Centers for Medicaid/Medicare services. If you think about today's senior citizens, they grew up watching him. I think if he plays an external role in that agency — "

FRANK: "What will he do? What does he want to do?"

GOTTLIEB: "Well, look, I don't think he's going to sit over meetings all day figuring out Part B, injectable drug conversions and the minutiae of that organization. I think he’ll probably play more of an outside game trying to lead the health and wellness for American seniors. I think he could be very good at that. So there are some qualified, very capable picks."
