Dr. Oz young family member faints during Trump’s remarks at White House swearing-in ceremony

A young girl collapsed near the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office while President Donald Trump spoke during a Friday swearing-in ceremony for former heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz, who rushed over to assist the child. 

A White House official confirmed to Fox News Digital that the girl was a family member of Oz’s who fainted during the ceremony and that she has recovered. 

Department of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. swore in Oz to oversee the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The Senate confirmed Oz on April 3, and he is now tasked with managing nearly $1.5 trillion in federal healthcare spending. 

In addition to leading the Medicare and Medicaid services, he will oversee the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). He will be responsible for issuing decisions on how the government will cover procedures, hospital stays and medication. 

At the ceremony, Oz laid out his priorities in the role to advance the ‘Make America Healthy Again’ movement that Kennedy is spearheading, and instituting reform for Medicare and Medicaid. 

‘Healthy people don’t consume healthcare resources,’ Oz said in regard to the so-called ‘MAHA’ movement. ‘The best way to reduce drug spending is to use less drugs, because you don’t need them.’ 

‘Next big thing we want to focus on is modernizing Medicare and Medicaid,’ Oz said. ‘That’s how Americans will get the care that they want, need and deserve. Need to empower patients and providers, both the doctors and the patients, both have to be equipped with better tools.’ 

Lastly, Oz said he would seek to weed out any fraud or abuse within the Medicare and Medicaid systems. 

Medicare is a government healthcare program that provides coverage to roughly 65 million Americans aged 65 or older, according to the Center for Medicare Advocacy. Medicaid is a federal assistance program for approximately 72 million low-income Americans, according to Medicaid.gov. 

Oz received medical and business degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and became a household name during television stints that include ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show,’ and 13 seasons of ‘The Dr. Oz Show.’
