“Minnesota…is just the tip of the iceberg,” says Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Minnesota has become the epicenter of several overlapping fraud investigations of childcare programs, small business pandemic loans, and Medicaid services. Earlier this month, Dr. Oz traveled to Minnesota to tour suspected fraud sites and meet with whistleblowers and announced that over $2 billion in annual Medicaid funding might be withheld.
“What we're seeing in Minnesota—which is billions of dollars of fraud that hurts our most vulnerable people and puts them at risk…is dwarfed by what I saw in California, which is whole-scale cultural malfeasance around health care,” Dr. Oz says.
Dr. Oz oversees programs that together constitute about one-fourth of the entire U.S. federal budget.
