Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is a US government agency responsible for administering the Medicare and Medicaid health insurance programs. Recently, CMS administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz has urged Americans to get vaccinated against measles as outbreaks continue in multiple states. Additionally, the Trump administration plans to launch a website called TrumpRx for discounted prescription drugs. ProPublica has also published data on generic prescription drugs, highlighting concerns about their manufacturing processes and FDA inspection records. These developments highlight the agency's role in shaping healthcare policies and programs in the US, particularly during times of public health crises like measles outbreaks and flu seasons.
