Federal consumption full of waste, fraud and abuse costs billions of taxpayers – and Dr. Mehmet Oz says Medicaid is a great exampleWhere key care is tucked than Americans who need it most.
“There are about $ 14 billion we identified with Doge, people who are duly enrolled in several countries for Medicaid,” OZ said in this week’s “Sunday Morning Futures”.
“You live in New Jersey, but you move to Pennsylvania and which state gets your Medicaid? It turns out that both countries raise money from the Federal Government.”
Oz, Administrator of the Medicare & Medicaid Center, urged Medicaid to be “Clean[ed] UP “so serves the people who initially designed to help – those at dawn or dusk of their lives, those who” live in the shadow “, and those with disabilities who are unable to receive care of care because of others” moving in the fabric of the “system.

Republicans called for the need to eliminate wasteFraud and abuse in such medical assistance programs, which is more concerned with those who say a “big, beautiful law proposal” on the way through Congress threatens health for those who need it.
The speaker of the house Mike Johnson, R-L., Denied that the proposal of the law would threaten such coverage, saying “Sunday morning future” last month that the protection of Medicare, Medicaid and social security remains a “great priority” for Republicans, but Boarding waste, fraud and abuse It is important that these programs act more effectively for everyone.
“We need to eliminate people, for example, on Medicaid who doesn’t really meet the conditions to be there. Workers with abilities … Young men who should not be on the program at all,” he said at the time.
Oz is a guest host Jackie Deangelis said that the problem goes even further, turning to the lack of federal request for Medicaid – something that exists in other federal programs like food stamps.

“Let’s be clear what that means. That doesn’t mean you have a job. It means you’re trying to get a job – what is a good thing because we have twice as many jobs than people are looking for them right now,” he said.
“But if you can’t or can’t look for a job, you can volunteer somewhere. You can get education. You can help with other people inside the household. There are many ways you can get in.”
“For Snap, okay, okay, food stamps. There is a lot of things. I think there is a moral danger if we don’t do it, because you have people who don’t work they can work, who should work, and it’s better for them and better for the country if they do.”
Oz also said the states are currently “stimulated” not to cooperate with the Federal Government. He pointed to the provision within the expansion of the program that allows the Federal Government to cover up to 90% of costs in some countries compared to 50% or 60%.

This uneven structure, he argued, encourages states to remain more capable of adults enrolled in Medicaid to bring more federal money.
“Right now, in many countries, if you go to the hospital and you are a capable person, the hospital is paid more [for a Medicaid beneficiary] but if you are a Medicare user. Now, how does that work? “He said.
“People have been working all their lives, they are inserted into Medicare, they get a program, they retreat, thinking they have a great system, and the hospital says to them,” Listen, you don’t pay the guys, as well as capable people on Medicaid who failed to get a job. “So, in some ways we appreciate them more and that is what happens in the end, which interferes with the system.”
