Oz claimed that New York’s Medicaid program last year provided some 5 million people with personal care services, which assist people in need with basic activities like bathing, grooming and meal preparation. That would add up to nearly three-fourths of the state’s 6.8 million Medicaid enrollees.
“That level of utilization is unheard of,” Oz said in the video, adding in his post that New York needs to “come clean about its Medicaid program.”
But the real number of New Yorkers who used those services last year was about 450,000, or between 6% and 7% of total enrollees, CMS spokesman Chris Krepich told the AP this week. He said the agency misidentified New York’s approach to applying billing codes and had since refined its methodology.

This is confusing. They were probing a fraud, but it turns out that the probe was the fraud?

Bold to claim these people are capable of shame

“Forced to admit?”
That’s a phrase that implies he’s capable of things like introspection, humility, or shame.
Or that anyone who adores him simply because Trump adores him would even care.

Sadly there are no consequences for doing this. This entire clownshow of an administration needs to be fired.

The other morons in this cabinet have an excuse that they are imbeciles with room temp IQs. This guy is really smart but is pretending to be dumb for the sake of power and influence. He is one of the worst.

Speaking of unkosher activities, I still get ads for some bullshit fat burner endorsed by this asshole. Doesn’t that violate some of those things we used to have? Can’t remember what they’re called, but they were kind of a big deal.

When everything’s ‘humiliating’ to the Daily Beast it really makes the term lose any and all meaning.

Every day the Daily Beast assures me that this administration has been humiliated, devastated, embarrassed, and I’m starting to wonder if A. The administration doesn’t give a shit and B. The Daily Beast is a dumb publication peddling rage bait and copium

It’s almost as if the most incompetent, least qualified people were put in positions to fail on purpose.

He should be making the rounds, doing as many interviews as possible, to publicly correct his mistake. If you are loudly wrong, you should be just as loud when you are correcting the mistake.

This administration is so embarrassing. Republicans thinks a fraud Dr should be advising America. Conservatives have lost their minds.

Another criminal to prosecute. He’ll look fine in orange, for the very last time we’ll ever see him.

I can’t believe the As Seen On TV President’s As Seen On TV doctor isn’t a capable, experienced administrator and has no instincts for spotting thinks like fraud. Who could have seen this coming?
Maybe Trump can hire the Sham Wow guy to replace him and really get things done.

It has nothing to do with what the actual percentage is, the only that matters is that the numbers supports the predetermined outcome.
