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 NewsNations 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 doesnt stretch that far. You end up bankrupting the whole system, the former TV host said Friday.
