Dr. Oz Uncovers Billions in Medicare and Medicaid Fraud, Waste, and Abuse: ‘If You Thought USAID was a Problem, This Will Bring a Little Shiver to You’ by Jim Hᴏft

Dr. Oz laid out a clear and urgent mission: protect the most vulnerable — not enrich bureaucrats, fraudsters, and corrupt insiders. 

Dr. Mehmet Oz, newly sworn in as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), has exposed billions of dollars in fraud, waste, and abuse plaguing America’s healthcare safety nets...
In just a short time, the CMS team has flagged tens of billions of dollars in illicit spending. 

Among the jaw-dropping examples:

• $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.
