From Fox News: Federal spending riddled with waste, fraud and abuse is costing taxpayers billions – and Dr. Mehmet Oz says Medicaid is a glaring example, where crucial care is being siphoned away from the Americans who need it most.

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

“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.”

Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, urged that Medicaid be “clean[ed] up” so it serves the people it was initially designed to assist – those at the dawn or twilight of their life, those “living in the shadows,” and those with disabilities who are unable to receive access to care because of others “clawing at the cloth” of the system.

Dr. Oz also explained that while there is a work requirement for people on the food stamp program, there is no work requirement for Medicaid coverage, and there should be for able-bodied people.

Dr. Oz announced last week, “CMS is rolling out an enhanced and accelerated Medicare Advantage contract auditing strategy to catch any cases of fraud, waste or abuse that have been hiding in the program for far too long. We are actively reviewing claims to ensure the government is being accurately billed for Medicare patient treatments, and suspect billions of $ will be recovered through this initiative.”
