Dr. Oz asks why states are 'paying for illegal immigrants getting healthcare'

Dr. Mehmet Oz committed to “clean up the system” that was previously running the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Oz was confirmed to head the agency last month, just as the Republican Party was musing on how to retool Medicaid to save costs without affecting the beneficiaries of the service. There remain a variety of plans from the Senate that have yet to pass. The House, however, passed its own reconciliation legislation last week that included Medicaid reform, but according to Oz, every plan Republicans have put forth is dedicated to “increasing the amount of money we are spending on Medicaid.”
