December 2025: TRUMP PRESIDENCY Dr. Oz on Minnesota Taxpayer Fraud: ‘You Have to Come Down Hard’

Dr. Oz on Minnesota Taxpayer Fraud: ‘You Have to Come Down Hard’
"Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz threw down the gauntlet on the Alex Marlow Show, contending that the Trump administration will aggressively target fraudsters in Minnesota and beyond.

Rampant fraud and misuse of billions of taxpayer dollars recently uncovered in Minnesota – much of it committed by hordes of Somali refugees descended upon the state in recent decades – has spurred the Trump administration to zero in on fraudsters and the state officials permitting and even facilitating the illegal use of funds.
In an apparent act of damage control, Minnesota’s leftist governor Tim Walz (D) announced a director of a statewide fraud prevention program, who will be called the “Director of Program Integrity.”
“According to U.S. Department of Justice figures, there has been about $822 million in fraud from Minnesota services,” Fox 9 reported, “including $300 million from Feeding Our Future, the possibility of nearly $220 million in autism program fraud and $302 million from the Housing Stabilization Program.”
Oz was among the first and most adamant to declare that fraud in programs he oversees will not be tolerated, recently warning Walz about the potential loss of Medicaid funding unless he fixed the alleged fraud.
“If we’re unsatisfied with the state’s plans or cooperation, we’ll stop paying the federal share of these programs,” Oz wrote. “The message to Walz is clear: either fix this in 60 days or start looking under your couch for spare change, because we’re done footing the bill for your incompetence.”
