US EditionDr. Oz on Medicaid Cuts: People Should 'Prove that You Matter'
- Dr. Mehmet Oz sparked controversy on Fox Business Wednesday by stating people must 'prove that you matter' to remain eligible for Medicaid coverage.

- These developments suggest a significant reshaping of Medicaid eligibility, with broader social and health implications, especially for low-income and disabled populations.
