The last time I wrote about Dr. Mehmet Oz, the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), he was reviewing the state’s use of Medicaid funding. Now, the head of CMS has launched a high‑profile push on alleged hospice and home‑health fraud in California. Answer: Have his office smear Oz as “racist”, asserting that because of his Turkish heritage, Oz was targeting the Armenian community. Gavin Newsom and Dr. Mehmet Oz continued trading verbal blows as the governor implied that President Trump’s Medicaid czar was deliberately singling out Armenian-owned California businesses for accusations of fraud. Our office is reviewing reports that Dr. Mehmet Oz targeted the Armenian American community in Southern California recently — making racially charged claims of fraud outside Armenian-owned businesses, including a popular bakery.
