Dr. Oz Forced to Admit Humiliating Mistake in His Big Blue State ‘Fraud’ Probe

Oz, who serves as President Donald Trump’s administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, made the error last month in a social media video and letter to New York’s Democratic governor.

He claimed that New York’s Medicaid program provided 5 million people with personal care services, which assist people in need with basic activities such as bathing, grooming, and meal preparation.
