Dr Oz : Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing that we’re withholding nearly $300 million from California — which is by far the worst offender — until they demonstrate to our satisfaction that they’re spending that money properly

UPDATE: It’s worse than we thought.

In October, we flagged $1.3 billion in Medicaid funds that 6 states may have unlawfully spent on health care for illegal immigrants.

Since then, we’ve gathered more data and the total has grown to over $1.8 billion across 8 states.

It’s against the law to spend federal Medicaid funds on non-emergency healthcare for illegals. If states use their own money to do it, there needs to be a clear paper trail proving that federal dollars didn’t fund those services.

These states failed to provide that for this $1.8 billion. So today, CMS is announcing that we’re withholding nearly $300 million from California — which is by far the worst offender — until they demonstrate to our satisfaction that they’re spending that money properly.

Medicaid dollars belong to Americans, not illegal immigrants, and we won’t stop until we’ve held rogue states accountable and recovered their misspent funds.

More announcements to come.

And when is Dr OZ going to go after Deloitte IES Integrated Eligibility System which is the source of the fraud in CA and 24 other states, mostly the big states, not MN.

Deloitte IES controls who gets on food stamps, EBT, SNAP, WIC, TANF, Sec8, CHPS, Medicaid and other welfare programs.

Deloitte is the one who decides how many dead are active on the rolls. Deloitte is the one who decides how many DUPS are on the rolls as separate valid ID.

To name just 2 of many problems.
