WATCH: Dr. Oz CORRECTS CBS’ Margaret Brennan live on air over false Medicaid claims — “Just get the numbers correct.” She tried to corner him on supposed cuts to Medicaid, and whether or not “most favored nations” policies to drug companies will be used to help pay for the cuts. Instead, Dr. Oz schooled her. Brennan asked: “Is that intended to offset what will be, you know, cuts to Medicaid and do you know, you know, if the companies are actually going to follow through on this? How do you actually strong arm them into doing it?” Oz didn’t flinch: “Well, just get the numbers correct. We’re putting $200 billion more dollars into Medicaid. So we’re investing into Medicaid.” “There has been a 50% increase in the cost of Medicaid over the last five years. So I’m trying to save this beautiful program, this noble effort to help folks giving them a hand up.” “And as you probably can gather, if Medicaid isn’t able to take care of the people for whom it was designed—then we’re not satisfying the fundamental obligation of a moral government.”
