After 30 years of documenting the exact Medicaid fraud that stole care from TBI survivors, ABI families, and the most vulnerable Americans, Dr. Oz at CMS is finally doing what the evidence demanded.
For three decades I have uploaded the forensic proof: closed-loop provider steering, ghost beneficiaries, 24-hour fake claims, Optum/UnitedHealthcare influence embedded throughout CMS, and the systemic obstruction that protected the criminals while vulnerable Americans suffered.
Now, for the first time, someone at the top is acting on that evidence. Dr. Mehmet Oz is doing exactly what my archive proved needed to happen. Yet one of the loudest voices criticizing him right now is @MedicalQuack
Barbara Duck, a California-based healthcare IT consultant and blogger who has spent 15 years calling out the exact same problems. The Contradiction That Cannot Be Ignored Barbara Duck has repeatedly:
Warned about UnitedHealthcare/Optum’s massive federal contracts and data-mining practices inside CMS
Exposed billing fraud, upcoding, and the “algo cartel” that steals from Medicare and Medicaid
Advocated for transparency and cracking down on the very waste I have documented since 1995
She is not wrong about the problems.
She has been saying many of the same things my archive has shown. But now that Dr. Oz is actually doing something freezing questionable funding in Minnesota, demanding answers from New York’s $124 billion program, launching the CRUSH Fraud initiative, and padlocking the cookie jar she calls it “private equity whores,” “perception management,” and “scripted by the Paragon Stink Tank.” She accuses him of owning UNH stock and stuffing consultants into CMS, yet she has built her entire brand around exposing the very corruption Oz is now confronting.
This is not defense of the vulnerable.
This is defense of the status quo that has profited from the broken system.
The Record Is Clear
In the last few weeks alone under Dr. Oz: $259 + million in Minnesota Medicaid payments frozen until integrity issues are fixed Detailed probes into New York’s personal care and home health fraud
Nationwide moratoriums on shady DME suppliers and a coordinated push to stop ghost billing and upcoding
These are the exact patterns my March 2026 forensic reports already proved: the same HCBS validation failures, the same provider self-dealing, the same constitutional violations against whistleblowers like me.
Dr. Oz is not hurting the poor.
He is protecting the programs that serve TBI survivors, brain-injured Americans, and every family that depends on honest Medicaid services.This Is PersonalAs a TBI survivor who has fought for ABI waiver rights since the 1990s, I have watched the same fraud destroy lives while the system looked away. The evidence I preserved the FOIA denials, the deleted records, the closed-loop housing schemes is now being validated at the highest level. @MedicalQuack has spent years sounding the alarm.
Dr. Oz is answering it. The real question is why some critics prefer the fraud continue rather than support the one person finally stopping it.
What You Can Do Right Now
Read my March 2026 reports on the CMS-Oz New York probe and Minnesota funding freeze (search “CMS Dr Oz” on david-medeiros.com).
Share this article with every family fighting for real HCBS and Medicaid integrity.
If you have evidence of fraud in your state, the federal channels Dr. Oz is now actively using are open.
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.
