$1 billion in Medicare funds went to individuals fraudulently registered in multiple states.
$200 million spent on housekeeping services, unrelated to Medicaid’s core mission.
$10 million diverted to student loan repayments, robbing funds from life-saving treatments like gene therapy for sickle cell anemia.
$14 million squandered on DEI initiatives and labor union childcare benefits.
250,000 ineligible individuals registered in the marketplace, siphoning resources.
Oz emphasized these findings aren’t rounding errors — they’re the result of deliberate, organized criminal activity, sometimes even tied to foreign adversaries.
“The $31 million that I know of last week is a great example. We stopped that money — using new technology, modernizing how Medicare and Medicaid work — from even leaving the building because we knew something was fishy about the bills,” said Dr. Oz.
“These aren’t just small mistakes. These are organized criminal efforts to hurt our country, some launched by foreign countries. These are serious issues we are digging into — and that’s why we have this war room.”
GO OZ!!!! GET EM!
The income tax needs to disappear permanently - these people can't be trusted with money.
Crickets chirping….
Obviously, Trump is cutting Medicare benefits!
GOOD FOR DR OZ.
It seems to me the GOPe might have been not just asleep. They knew about this and staid mum, Bush and all the other incompetents. No wonder they all loved Obama, they were on the other team.
So this one of the ways by which the deep state has been financing itself.
Show me medicaid fraud, and I will show you a dusky, tawny foreigner.

It won’t register with the population unless a lot of people are arrested.
I remember hearing, about a decade ago, that there were only 18 fraud investigators for the entire country.
Organized criminal efforts known now time for raids and 4:00am door knocks.
