During a segment of Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime” aired on Monday, CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz shed light on a concerning wave of international fraud, implicating the Chinese government in a significant scheme based in New York. He also raised alarms about potential fraudulent activities linked to the Russian and Cuban governments.
Guest host Kayleigh McEnany delved into the issue, reminding viewers of previous discussions about possible Cuban government involvement in fraudulent activities in Florida. “When we last spoke, you mentioned Cuban ties to fraud in Florida,” McEnany noted, before broadening the scope. “But this issue seems much larger, with several foreign governments possibly misappropriating taxpayer dollars. Can you elaborate on your findings?”
In response, Oz outlined a troubling picture. “We suspect involvement from the Russian government in Los Angeles,” he stated. “In New York, the Chinese government is allegedly part of a large fraud ring. And as for the Cuban connections, the former mayor of Miami, Francis Suarez, highlighted a bizarre situation where the number of durable medical equipment suppliers in South Florida—businesses selling items like wheelchairs and canes—doubles the number of McDonald’s. Many of these businesses are owned by individuals with Cuban ties, who reportedly flee back to Cuba with the profits once investigations begin.”
