Before jumping into the Republican race for US Senate in Pennsylvania, Dr. Mehmet Oz regularly supported health insurance mandates and promoted Obamacare, taking positions that are unusual for a Republican candidate.
A review by CNN's KFile of hundreds of Oz's television, radio, print and social media appearances over more than a decade found that Oz has supported a health insurance mandate for "everyone ... to be in the system" and backed government-provided health care coverage for poor Americans and for minors.
