Dr. Oz at CMS Is Finally Doing What My 30-Year Archive Proved Needed to Happen

After three decades exposing systemic Medicaid fraud in the ABI waiver program, I am watching Dr. Mehmet Oz at CMS take the exact actions my evidence demanded. This is not “cutting care” this is protecting the vulnerable from the real criminals.

By David Medeiros

For 30 years I have documented the same fraud, waste, and abuse that is stealing billions from the most vulnerable Americans TBI survivors, ABI waiver families, disabled elders, and children who depend on honest Medicaid services.Today, for the first time in decades, someone at the very top of CMS is finally acting on the evidence. Dr. Mehmet Oz is doing exactly what my archive proved needed to happen. The Record, Not the Rhetoric In just the last few weeks under Dr. Oz:New York received a detailed 50-question demand letter on its $124 billion Medicaid program, focusing on personal care and home health integrity failures. Minnesota had $259 million+ in federal payments frozen until it fixes systemic problems in personal care billing. A nationwide “CRUSH Fraud” initiative is now underway targeting ghost beneficiaries, 24-hour fake claims, dead recipients still being billed, and the organized networks that have exploited HCBS waivers for years. These are the exact patterns I have been uploading to david-medeiros.com since 1995: the same closed-loop steering, the same provider self-dealing, the same FOIA obstructions, the same constitutional violations I have proven in real time. This is not “cutting care.” This is stopping the theft of care. Why the Smears Are Predictable The people attacking Dr. Oz right now are the same networks that benefited from the status quo. They call him a “TV doctor.” They say he wants to hurt the poor.The truth is the opposite.Every dollar Dr. Oz is freezing or auditing is money that was being stolen from the very programs meant to serve brain-injured Americans, autistic children, and elderly citizens who cannot defend themselves. My archive already contains the forensic comparisons showing how states like New York and Minnesota have been gaming the system for over a decade.Dr. Oz is not the problem. He is the first real solution in a generation.This Is Personal As a TBI survivor who has fought for ABI waiver rights since the 1990s, I have watched the same fraud destroy lives while bureaucrats looked the other way. The evidence I have preserved the FOIA denials, the deleted records, the closed-loop housing schemes, the retaliation against whistleblowers is now being validated at the highest level. Dr. Oz is not coming after the vulnerable. He is coming after the people who have been preying on them. What You Can Do Right Now Read the actual letters and actions on my site (search “CMS Dr Oz” or “New York Medicaid Probe March 2026”). Share this article with your representatives, local media, and every family fighting for honest HCBS services. If you have evidence of fraud in your state, submit it through the federal channels Dr. Oz is now actively using. America’s most vulnerable populations deserve real protection not more stolen billions. Dr. Oz is delivering exactly that. The archive has been waiting 30 years for this moment. It is here. This is for you and every person you love. The fraud stops now. David Medeiros March 13, 2026 National Medicaid Whistleblower & ABI Resources Founder
