"Some Americans who rely on Medicaid to pay for their health care don’t realize their insurance is funded by that very program, which congressional Republicans are looking to shrink.

One reason is that state programs aren’t always called “Medicaid.” Many states have rebranded their programs with consumer-friendly names...And nearly all states now use private insurance companies...to run their Medicaid programs."

Kennedy’s Plan to Send Health Officials to ‘Indian Country’ Angers Native Leaders

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he is committed to improving the Indian Health Service. Native American leaders have doubts. “It’s shameful,” one said.
Native leaders have some questions for him.

Why, they would like to know, did he lay off employees in programs aimed at supporting Native people, like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Healthy Tribes initiative? Why has he shuttered five regional offices of the Department of Health and Human Services that, by the estimate of one advocate for tribes, cover 80 percent of the nation’s Indian population?

Oz is chummy with senators at hearing, says that "There's a new sheriff in town" re: fraud in #Medicare Advantage

It remains to be seen whether #DrOz will be tougher on Medicare Advantage (where there's rampant documented overspending) or on #Medicaid.

Oz also nods to using #AI to reduce prior auths and incentivize doctors to "optimize care" and focus on patients
