Oz pledges to fight health care fraud but makes no commitments on Medicaid funding cuts

Senate Democrats accuse Dr. Mehmet Oz of significantly underpaying Medicare and Social Security taxes by $440,000 and misclassifying his earnings from Oz Property Holdings LLC.
Dr. Oz reportedly paid negligible Medicare and Social Security taxes in 2022 and none in 2023, according to a Senate Finance Committee memo.
Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized Dr. Oz, stating, 'Not only does Dr. Oz want to gut Medicare, but he evidently cheated on his Medicare taxes.'
Dr. Oz's spokesman stated that he is in compliance with the law and has resolved any potential conflicts.
