Dr. Mehmet Oz, President Donald Trump’s point man for Medicare and Medicaid, says the billions of entitlement fraud being uncovered in Democrat states may be intentionally driven by politics rather than incompetence.
“I do think it's a feature for some of these states,” Oz told Just the News in a wide-ranging interview Thursday night in which he detailed why the administration led by Vice President JD Vance temporarily pulled $1.3 billion in Medicaid funding from California and uncovered foreign fraudsters stealing taxpayer welfare monies.
“Republicans always suspected there was fraud of this magnitude. Democrats feel embarrassed that it's gotten this bad, and they don't know what happened to all the money they thought they were helping people with. So it's a great issue for us to drive home,” he said.
Oz said his own agency, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), alone is losing $100 billion a year to fraud, a total that if stopped could extend the life of America’s most famous entitlement program.
Oz announced this week his agency shut down 800 hospice centers suspected of being empty, fraudulent shells.
“It highlights the reality that the fraud had actually created such a deep corruption, such a deep rot in the system, that when someone finally began to take action, they all scurried like rats into the corners. They never thought anybody would come after them,” he said.
Oz offered an example from New York state on how politics appears to have perpetrated systematic waste.

“And this is the catch: when the governor of New York is seeing declining employment, and they can get people employed by the federal government and the disguise of personal care services, it's a winner. They don't have to pay unemployment. They get to take taxes on the money that these guys are getting paid,” he explained.
And, he noted, one of the Democrat Party’s key contingencies is now benefiting from the explosive growth of the program: Big Labor.
“The unions got permission to unionize these people. Everybody's getting money through Medicaid,” he said.
Oz said the recent hospice fraud crackdown exposed another villain in the fleecing of American taxpayers: foreigners.
"Think about how much money that is going to, in this case, organized criminal endeavors, the Russian mafia,” he said. “Much of it goes overseas. I mean, we caught one of these guys. Just sentenced them. … These guys had stolen $58 million from taxpayers. They bought gold bullion. They know how to invest, put it in their suitcases, and they were fleeing back to their native country when we caught them.”


Commentary:

​

It doesn't matter if it's a Red or Blue State, if Democrats control the City you'll find fraud rifle within their Medicare program.
The Democrat Party has found that by bloating with myriads of wasteful spending programs it can conduct its thefts behind a smokescreen of incompetence.
It’s intentional. It’s planned at the highest level with all the appropriate bribes and kickbacks.
It makes the old mafia look like amateurs.
I think the more we employ DOGE, we’re going to find out that upwards of a trillion dollars has been stolen in the box last few years alone.
The fraud is a massive Democrat money laundering operation and their clueless sheep likely will continue to be fine with it if when they found out.

Dr. Oz?

He ain't no Wizard, not by far.


As the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Dr. Mehmet Oz admitted to a glaring math error in April 2026 regarding New York's Medicaid program. [1, 2]
The New York Medicaid Error:

• The Claim: Dr. Oz stated in a social media video and letter that New York's Medicaid program provided personal care services to 5.1 million people last year.
• The Reality: CMS confirmed the actual number of users was closer to 450,000. Critics, including health policy analysts at the Fiscal Policy Institute, attributed the error to a basic math miscalculation that incorrectly counted unique monthly users as separate, individual people.
• The Response: New York health officials criticized the claim as "patently false" and a "targeted attempt to obscure the facts," while CMS later admitted to the significant error in their data methodology.

Dr. Oz. Quackery at it's most Trumpian!

History of Medical Controversies:
Prior to his CMS appointment, during his time as a daytime television host, Dr. Oz faced intense scrutiny from the medical and scientific communities. Health experts frequently criticized his promotion of fad diets, unproven "miracle" supplements, and alternative medical treatments not supported by rigorous scientific evidence. A 2014 study in the BMJ famously evaluated claims made on The Dr. Oz Show and found that only about 46% of his recommendations were supported by believable or published evidence, while 39% had no scientific backing at all.
