President Donald Trump’s administration has launched a federal fraud investigation into New York’s Medicaid program, citing unusually high spending levels in the state.
The probe is being led by Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Oz announced the probe, revealing that the numbers behind New York’s Medicaid spending raise serious questions.
“Heart surgeons are trained to look at the numbers,” Oz said in a video posted on X.
“When something doesn’t add up, you don’t ignore it; you investigate.
“Right now, the numbers coming out of New York’s Medicaid program don’t add up.”
