Able-bodied recipients must work, volunteer or get an education under the new rule announced by Dr. Oz
The Trump administration is launching a major crackdown on government waste and abuse, targeting billions of federal tax dollars spent on healthcare for illegal immigrants while implementing new work requirements for able-bodied Americans on Medicaid.
During a White House news briefing Tuesday afternoon, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Oz outlined an aggressive strategy to stop “legalized money laundering” that he warned would have cost the program an additional $5.4 trillion over the next decade.
Oz revealed the administration identified roughly $2 billion in federal tax dollars improperly going to illegal immigrants, a number that has doubled since he reported on the issue last year.
It’s about damn time!
