Dr. Oz welcomes move by states to reduce migrant health coverage

Dr. Oz applauds blue states rolling back migrant health coverage https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5361875-dr-oz-medicaid-medicare-migrant-health-coverage/


Dr. Mehmet Oz, the celebrity doctor who oversees Medicaid and Medicare for the Trump administration, welcomes the move by a trio of blue states — California, Illinois and Minnesota — to freeze or reduce health care benefits for undocumented migrants.

He told NewsNation’s “CUOMO” on Friday that some states broadened their public medical programs to include migrants because they could leverage federal dollars to pay for it, but Medicaid is supposed to be reserved for the most vulnerable Americans

“If we extend it to illegal immigrants without keeping tabs of what those costs are — and especially if we have a system that encourages states to do legalized money laundering, to push more money towards able-bodied individuals — the dollar doesn’t stretch that far. You end up bankrupting the whole system,” the former TV host said Friday.

Physician's Oath
The Physician's Oath represents a timeless vow, a solemn promise to uphold the highest standards of care, compassion, and integrity in service to humanity. Rooted in centuries of tradition and ethical principles, this oath serves as a guiding light for physicians as they navigate the complexities of medicine.

as easily as the rest of the U.S. population. If they are denied access to medical care, they will the ones who spread the next COVID.
