After Thursday’s 53-45 Senate vote to confirm #Mehmet #Oz, as head of the "Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services" a wide range of critics have argued that the celebrity cardiothoracic surgeon
“is profoundly unqualified to lead any part of our healthcare system, let alone an agency as important as CMS,” in the words of the Co-president of the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, Robert Weissman
Weissman declared that “Republicans in the Senate continued to just be a rubber stamp for a dangerous agenda that threatens to turn back the clock on healthcare in America.”

Bytes Europe · Senate Confirms Dr. Oz to Ovrsee Medicare and MedicaidThe Senate on Thursday confirmed Dr. Mehmet Oz, the celebrity TV doctor, 53-45 and along party lines to lead Medicare and Medicaid, which insure nearly half of all Americans.The future of both programs is the subject of fierce debate: Republicans are contemplating significant cuts to Medicaid, which provides health care to low-income Americans. The Trump administration and G.O.P. lawmakers have proposed sizable reductions in Medicaid spending in part to find savings to pay for President Trump’s tax-cut package.Dr. Oz, 64, has for years been a vocal proponent of Medicare Advantage, the private insurance plans for older Americans, despite federal inquiries

...Oz 28, the School Kids issue, with its notorious comic strip of a priapic Rupert Bear and full page photo of a miniskirted schoolgirl captioned "jail bait of the month" ?

"The case of Schoolkids Oz", a well informed and thoughtful historical essay by David Buckingham, has certainly helped me think about this particular moment in British history. I agree with the author that the legacy of the Oz trial and the British counterculture more generally is mixed; we can look back and see both appalling sexism and a laudable sexual emancipation, protoneoliberalism and a cooperatavism that deserves re-examination and perhaps celebration or even revival.

We might also pause to consider the progressivism of today. As we look back with distaste at the promotion of "jailbait of the month", can we be confident that some of the campaigns and rhetoric of progressives today will not prompt a similar recoil in future decades?

Watched Return To Oz (1985) 🎬 and forgot just how good it is. The Wizard of Oz is dark but I'd say this one is darker and definitely not suitable for young children.

Its set six months after the original movie and Fairuza Balk does a fine job as Dorothy. There are some great new characters and it really was fun. I'm building up to watching Wicked. This movie really does earn its cult classic status. #movies #fantasy #Oz

sehr gut gemachter und einfühlsam erzählter podcast über #oz als künstler und tragische figur : ardaudiothek.de/sendung/oz-gra

ARD AudiothekOZ. Graffiti-Künstler. Schmierfink. Rebell.Zwei Jahrzehnte lang geht der Graffiti-Sprayer OZ – bürgerlich Walter Fischer – jede Nacht raus und »macht Hamburg bunter«, wie er sagt – oder, wie andere urteilen: Er verschandelt die Stadt. Immer wieder wird er verprügelt. Und immer wieder verurteilt, insgesamt zu mehr als acht Jahren Gefängnis. Doch OZ macht immer weiter, am Ende stirbt er als Künstler. Was war sein Antrieb? Kai Sieverding und Sven Stillich begeben sich auf die Suche nach dem Menschen hinter der Sprühdose und finden ein Leben, das geprägt ist von Extremen.
