Dr. Mehmut Oz is the US Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Jim O’Neill is the Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Last week Dr. Oz and Jim O’Neill traveled to St. Paul to investigate fraud at a run-down building in St. Paul.
Dr. Oz and Deputy Secretary O’Neill sat down with Liz Collin from conservative Alpha News to describe their experience in St. Paul
Dr. Oz and Deputy Secretary O’Neill were threatened, followed, and had their cars surrounded as they visited an old textile business that was now used to administer Medicaid. This was another fraudulent Medicaid operation.
Dr. Oz.: It seems systemic in its nature. The building that we visited together, Greg’s building, was a textile factory, became an office building. It’s not a nice part of town. I wouldn’t take my kids there to get cared for, frankly, do much else in business But somehow they had 400 offices doing business with Medicaid charging almost $400 million to the taxpayer. That means basically each of those businesses made a million dollars. You wouldn’t walk in this building in the city part of Minneapolis. I suspect there might have been others who knew this was happening, certainly collaborating with these folks. Maybe even I wonder, the folks who were in the building, the neighborhood, someone knew… We were chased out of buildings by car honking, people giving us the finger…
…I came into this business. I’m a doctor. I want to make sure that if you’re living in the shadows in America, as Hubert Humphrey, Senator from Minnesota, so beautifully claimed, If you’re not able to help those folks living in the shadows, then you’re abdicating your responsibility.
Liz Collin: You were going to these phony businesses today and facing real threats out there?
Dr. Oz: I wouldn’t say we felt in significant danger, but we were told we wouldn’t even be allowed in the building, so we didn’t try. But we drove by, we just stood on the sidewalk, and there was menace We got back in our cars. People were hooking at us. A car followed us for a long time. It was definitely… They didn’t know exactly who we were, but we were in black cars. There was definitely a vibe that they were Just against anyone looking around, hiding something, just even all the people in the parking lot.
Liz Collin: Have you ever seen anything quite like this in your time?
Dr. Oz.: The mob mentality is stunning. I don’t even know if these folks are from Minnesota. These are professional agitators. They have a little network, not a little network, pretty big network from what I can tell. But we were only there for a minute or two, and there were already people showing up and beginning to surround the cars we were in. We got out just to look around. That didn’t last very long. Why would you not want me to look? What are you worried about? I’ll tell you, as a heart surgeon, the first thing you do when there’s a complication and someone else calls you in to help out another surgeon, you open the wound, you put the light in, because we can’t see if We can’t have exposure to the problem. To do that, you need to actually look around. I know I’ve seen footage of what’s inside this building that we weren’t allowed to go into, which is a concerning issue by itself. It’s just empty rooms with one computer terminal.
And, it’s not just Minnesota…
Dr. Oz: we’re seeing it around the country. But here’s the part I want you to hear clearly. These aren’t just small-time Americans making mistakes in their ethics. These are foreign criminal gangs that are involved in these activities. In Southern California, where there’s been a seven-fold increase in hospice I’ll say that again. Seven times more hospices just over the last couple of years. Are there seven times more people dying in Southern California? The Russian-Armenian gangs built up a massive Mafia business there. In Florida, they’ve got Cubans working hand in hand with these fraudulent durable medical equipment suppliers. There are 20 times more of these suppliers of wheelchairs and canes than there are McDonald’s. I mean, how many people need wheelchairs in Southern Florida? That was also driven by the Cuban government.
Here is the video interview.
