- Dr. Oz explains how Biden Admin. ‘failed’ to check duplicate healthcare enrollment
- Runtime

- Date posted

- Description
- Dr. Mehmet Oz said CMS found a sharp increase in people enrolled in both Medicaid and Affordable Care Act coverage after it reviewed a backlog of cases.
He said the agency ended duplicate policies for about 120,000 people in 2025, while they kept coverage through one program, and estimated the cleanup saved taxpayers $4.4 billion that year.
For 2026, Oz said CMS identified about 190,000 duplicate or otherwise improper enrollments, with projected savings of $1.5 billion over the next 12 months.
