We need to start taking care of the ones that contribute to society more than the ones that don't.Dr. Oz says Taxpayers Footing $14 Billion Bill for Medicaid Fraud while eligible patients struggle for care
Dr. Oz highlights how states are incentivized to keep ineligible people enrolled in federal healthcare program
Federal spending riddled with waste, fraud and abuse is costing taxpayers billions – and Dr. Mehmet Oz says Medicaid is a glaring example, where crucial care is being siphoned away from the Americans who need it most.
"There's about $14 billion we've identified with DOGE, of folks who are duly enrolled wrongly in multiple states for Medicaid," Oz said on this week's "Sunday Morning Futures."
"You live in New Jersey, but you move to Pennsylvania, and which state gets your Medicaid? Turns out both states collect money from the federal government."

I mostly agree with this, but there needs to be a safety net for some. The problem there is that 'safety net' becomes 'way of life' for fraudsters. If we could fix that abuse, then I am all for helping those less fortunate. I think abusing those systems should be felonies.We need to start taking care of the ones that contribute to society more than the ones that don't.
I agree with a safety net. The problem is that we take care of people that choose not to work better than the ones that work their entire life. Working with the elderly, it makes me so mad.I mostly agree with this, but there needs to be a safety net for some. The problem there is that 'safety net' becomes 'way of life' for fraudsters.

Shall we start a pool to guess what the final cost for "Star Wars Redux" will be?
As much as we hate it, it's all a politics game, and ignoring that politics game while making wild cuts is not going to get the fixes you want.DOGE seems to be stalling. Nothing ever changes in DC.

Jamie Dupree: DOGE cuts suddenly run out of steam — The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Republicans in Washington embraced the cuts made by Elon Musk and his DOGE team. But Congress still hasn't turned those savings into law.apple.news
Yes, because they came in and made themselves a big political threat machine to people from all walks and all sides of the aisle rather than acting with purpose. A Congress that responds to people from all sides of the aisle and all walks of life and inherently avoids political risk is going to be hesitant to back any play from a noisy group like that.Can you blame Doge if Congress doesn't make these cuts law??
