Dear Patriot,
.
Ever since most of us were teenagers, when the Democrats were losing a political battle, they started screaming: "Republicans are going to take away Social Security and Medicare !!"
Right on cue….they are doing it again.
President Trump and his Cabinet have said one thousand times that taking away these programs is NOT the plan. But, many of our senior citizens still fall for the fear the Dems push on them.
The fact of the matter is, Republicans have never wanted, or intended, to end these programs. In their desire to cut government spending and reduce the deficit, most Republicans wanted to fix the massive waste and corruption, in order to SAVE the programs. But none of them had the fortitude to try and actually do that. Until now.
Hang on to your seats…this week will be crazy as Congress finally comes back to town to work on the budget.
Today we offer…
more information on Medicare fraud.
the effort to save Hollywood that is missing the point.
details of ICE raids in Florida.
how much one state is spending on illegals’ health care.
the truth about the state of the Dem Party.
See ALL of the above in every newsletter ….. only $5 / month
1- STOP falling for this very old leftist lie! The truth is these programs can NOT continue with this much fraud attached to them. Trump, Elon and now Oz want to remove the theft of billions of dollars so old people can continue to live with some measure of comfort and care.
Pass this on to your friends and family. Don’t allow this lie to scare them or you. This administration is trying very hard to protect us!
Dr. Oz Uncovers Billions in Medicare and Medicaid Fraud, Waste, and Abuse: ‘If You Thought USAID was a Problem, This Will Bring a Little Shiver to You’
QUOTE: Dr. Mehmet Oz, newly sworn in as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), has exposed billions of dollars in fraud, waste, and abuse plaguing America’s healthcare safety nets.
Dr. Oz laid out a clear and urgent mission: protect the most vulnerable — not enrich bureaucrats, fraudsters, and corrupt insiders.
“Right now, my main focus, without any question, is to wage a war on fraud, waste, and abuse — because that’s what’s required. All hands on deck,” Dr. Oz said.
Under President Trump’s directive to “love and cherish Medicare and Medicaid,” Dr. Oz has mobilized an aggressive “war room” to identify, track, and claw back fraudulent payments.
“It’s a massive issue — hundreds of billions of dollars potentially out there. Not all of it is going to be collected at once, but we’ve got a war room focused very much on things that are going to really bother you.”
“If you thought USAID was a problem, some of the issues we are discovering — some of the things CMS has been funding through Medicare, Medicaid, and the exchanges — will bring a little shiver to you,” Dr. Oz warned.
In just a short time, the CMS team has flagged tens of billions of dollars in illicit spending. Among the jaw-dropping examples:
• $1 billion in Medicare funds went to individuals fraudulently registered in multiple states.
• $200 million spent on housekeeping services, unrelated to Medicaid’s core mission.
• $10 million diverted to student loan repayments, robbing funds from life-saving treatments like gene therapy for sickle cell anemia.
• $14 million squandered on DEI initiatives and labor union childcare benefits.
• 250,000 ineligible individuals registered in the marketplace, siphoning resources.
Oz emphasized these findings aren’t rounding errors — they’re the result of deliberate, organized criminal activity, sometimes even tied to foreign adversaries.
“The $31 million that I know of last week is a great example. We stopped that money — using new technology, modernizing how Medicare and Medicaid work — from even leaving the building because we knew something was fishy about the bills,” said Dr. Oz.
“These aren’t just small mistakes. These are organized criminal efforts to hurt our country, some launched by foreign countries. These are serious issues we are digging into — and that’s why we have this war room.”
Democrats, led by figures like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have accused the Trump administration and Dr. Oz of plotting to gut Medicare and Medicaid.
Schumer claimed the administration prioritizes “the billionaire class” over working Americans, while AOC alleged cuts to veterans’ benefits and Medicaid. Dr. Oz dismissed these attacks as baseless fearmongering.
“President Trump has been very clear with me — he said it publicly — he wants to love and cherish, I’m quoting him, Medicare and Medicaid, these programs,” Dr. Oz explained.
“We are focused on saving Medicaid. That’s what we have to do. The existential threat is spending it into the ground so we don’t have the resources to take care of our most vulnerable.”
Addressing concerns about program cuts, Dr. Oz reassured Americans that the core mission of Medicaid—supporting poor children, pregnant women, the elderly, and the disabled—remains untouched.
THANK God for protecting President Trump while he travelled to Italy.
PRAY for President Trump and his team as they continue to do hard things.
PRAY for all our warriors and those arresting and removing dangerous illegals.
SHARE the truth.
Hold Fast,
