“Just to address whether we’re cutting Medicaid or not, we’re putting $200 billion more into Medicaid, more money is going into the program to help our young who are born into poverty, to help seniors who are struggling and the folks with disabilities.
“The best part of this bill, without question, is it’s challenging us to go forward and make a better system that works for all Americans, not just accept and tolerate the mediocrity that exists in the old programs that we have funded.
“The reason I took this job, I’m a heart surgeon, I spent my life taking care of folks, many individuals that did not have full insurance who were on Medicaid, so I know those challenges.” – Mehmet Oz, today on Fox News.
Mehmet Oz: “I don’t believe we’re gonna have that number of folks lose their insurance, but more importantly, I think we took steps as the president outlined that allow Medicaid to thrive … just throwing money at it alone isn’t going to solve it.” pic.twitter.com/ZVeRGRJPrT
