Dr. Oz’ Bizarre Claim: Big Ugly Bill Spends More On ‘Cherished’ Medicaid … from Crooks & Liars John Amato

Trump’s quack of a Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz upended every credible analysis of the Republican budget which shows massive and cruel cuts to Medicaid and millions of people losing their healthcare, telling Fox News Sunday that Republicans are increasing spending in their bill.

The Fox News host used a New York Post article to defend the Big Ugly bill passed by the Republican-controlled House by one vote, asking Oz how to counter Democrats’ opposition to the bill. It’s all about talking points to the MAGA cult and not results.

Meh Oz came up with some new lies.

Oz ranted that seniors and those with disabilities are not getting Medicaid because some reprobates are “clawing at the system,” as if people getting healthcare was a crime.

This is a pipe dream. If you enroll you have access. If you file taxes you have access. No one is being denied or hiding from getting Medicaid if they qualify.

HOST: But the Democrat messaging is very powerful, Dr. Oz. They go out there and they say this is a war on the poor. 8.6 million people, they say, are going to lose their health insurance.
