美国医保与医疗补助服务中心主任穆罕默德·奥兹博士表示，医疗补助欺诈已成为一些蓝州用来剥削联邦体系的“特色”。
在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时，总统唐纳德·特朗普麾下的医保与医疗补助服务中心负责人敦促加州州长加文·纽瑟姆及其他民主党州长加入政府的反欺诈行动。
“你为什么要窃取医疗补助的资金？”奥兹质疑道，随后解释了他为何认为一些州将医疗补助资助的护理项目当作本州的经济引擎，并会分配联邦报销款来支付失业人员的费用。
“我开始意识到，对许多州来说，窃取医疗补助资金并非制度缺陷，而是该项目的‘特色’，”他继续说道，“他们称之为‘靠医疗补助捞钱’。”

他继续说道：“你从联邦政府手中拿钱，打造一项医疗补助福利，再为其支付高额费用。如今，这些原本可能失业、给州财政带来负担的人，转而从联邦政府那里领取资金。你还能对这笔收入征税，这让州政府变得更富有。”
奥兹还辩称，这种安排会催生政治激励因素，因为这些工人可以组建工会，他声称这对民主党有利，因为工会可以为该党的政治行动委员会（PAC）提供资金支持。
“服务业工会正在将这些工人组织起来，”奥兹说，“这会为他们的金库带来工会会费，这些工会会费现在可以用于资助政治行动委员会。当然，永远都是同一个政党受益。”
“如今该政党为地方和州选举募集到了大量资金，而我们却在为此买单！”他 lamented（注：原文此处为感叹，译为“哀叹道”更符合语境）。
纽瑟姆是奥兹指责的主要蓝州领导人，称其尽管收到内部警告，却未能妥善解决本州的欺诈问题。
“我认为纽瑟姆州长感到很尴尬，”这位前电视医生告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“四年前，他自己的审计员就告知他，加州的欺诈现象非常普遍，必须采取行动，但他只是敷衍了事。”
“他们做了一些表面功夫，但实际上并未采取制止本州欺诈行为所需的关键步骤。”

由于加州未能跟随联邦政府打击大范围欺诈行为，特朗普政府削减了该州超过13亿美元的医疗补助报销款。
“我们搞不清资金流向何处，”奥兹说。
“我们有责任向联邦纳税人确保资金使用合理。在我们确信资金得到明智使用之前，我们不会为非法移民支付费用，不会为那些实际上没有资格享受医疗补助的人支付费用，我们只会为那些确实存在的服务对象，或是那些已经通过资格认证的服务提供者所提供的服务买单。”
奥兹鼓励所有州长效仿特朗普政府的做法，在全美范围内逐州打击欺诈行为。

副总统JD·万斯最近甚至牵头成立了政府新的反欺诈特别工作组，该工作组旨在针对联邦福利项目的剥削行为实施联邦监管。

“最大的障碍在于，当州长们没有意识到，如果他们不与总统保持一致，不在同一立场上，那么他们就是在反向划桨，我们只会在原地打转，一路滑向深渊，”奥兹说。
“欺诈之所以发生，是因为有能力制止欺诈的人没有协同合作。”

WATCH: Dr. Oz says Newsom, other blue states have turned Medicaid fraud into a ‘feature’

CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz says Medicaid fraud has become a “feature” blue states use to exploit the system.
President Donald Trump’s chief at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), in an interview with Fox News Digital, urged California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrat governors to join the administration’s anti-fraud push.
“Why would you steal money from Medicaid?” Oz questioned, before explaining how he believes some states are using Medicaid-funded care programs as an economic engine for their state and will distribute federal reimbursements to pay unemployed people.
“I began to realize that stealing money from Medicaid is not a flaw for a lot of states, it’s a feature of the program,” he continued. “They call it ‘Medicaid-ing it.’”

He continued, “You’re taking money from the federal government creating a Medicaid benefit, paying a lot of money for it. Now all these people who would have been unemployed, costing the state money, are instead of getting money from the federal government. You’re taxing that, which makes the state richer.”
Oz also argued the arrangement creates political incentives because those workers can unionize, which he claims benefits Democrats by allowing the unions to help fund the party’s political action committees (PACs).
“The service industry’s unionizing these workers,” Oz said. “That gets union dues into their coffers, those union dues can now pay for political action committees, funding. Of course, one party — always.”
“That party now has a lot of money coming in for local and state elections, and we are paying for it!, he lamented.
Newsom was the main blue-state leader that Oz accused of failing to adequately address fraud in his state despite internal warnings.
“I think Governor Newsom’s embarrassed,” the one-time television doctor told Fox News Digital. “He’s embarrassed that four years ago, he was told by his own auditors that there was such widespread fraud in California that they had to take action and they sort of dabbled.”
“They did some performative things, but they didn’t actually do the important steps required to stop fraud in the state.”

In response to California’s failure to follow the federal government’s lead in combatting widespread fraud, the Trump administration cut over $1.3 billion in the state’s Medicaid reimbursements.
“We can’t understand where the money’s going,” Oz said.
“We have the responsibility to the federal taxpayer to make sure this is true. Until we are comfortable with the money spent wisely, we’re not paying for illegal immigrants, we’re not paying for people who really don’t have these coverage Medicaid, we’re paying for services to people that don’t exist or to folks doing these services that have not actually been authenticated as eligible to do that.”
Oz encouraged all governors to follow suit in the Trump administration’s efforts to put an end to fraud nationwide — state by state.

Vice President JD Vance even recently began spearheading the administration’s new anti-fraud task force, which was formed to enact federal oversight against exploitation of federal benefit programs.

“The greatest obstacle is when the governors don’t realize that if they’re not aligned with the president, if they’re not on the same page, then they’re pulling the oars in the opposite direction, and we’re going in a circle down the drain,” Oz said.
“Fraud happens because the people who have the power to stop it don’t work together.”
