Cutting Medicaid Fraud

Dr. Oz: DOGE Found $14 Billion in Medicaid Fraud

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz said that his agency and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have identified at least $14 billion in fraud, waste, and abuse.

“There’s about $14 billion we’ve identified with DOGE, of folks who are duly enrolled wrongly in multiple states for Medicaid,” Oz told Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

As an example, Oz said, “You live in New Jersey, but you move to Pennsylvania, and which state gets your Medicaid? Turns out both states collect money from the federal government.”

He said that some people who are eligible to get a job or seek education are receiving Medicaid, echoing statements made by GOP lawmakers, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.). who in recent days said that able-bodied individuals and illegal aliens have received Medicaid benefits.

Lying Democrats love to say that Trump is cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. That is their constant fear tactic. Nope. They are finding and getting rid of the fraud so that these services can provide benefits to worthy individuals such as people with disabilities and others who need it or in the case of social security, who have earned it.

Thank God for DOGE. What is Democrats' gripe? All of a sudden fraudsters and illegals will not receive these benefits? GOOD.
