Mehmet Oz: “California, which is responsible for a lion's share of that…”

“I don't think you should close your government if what we're trying to do is protect taxpayers from having money sent without their knowledge to illegal immigrants in other states. As an example, California, which is responsible for a lion's share of that illegal immigrant funding, they offer free dental, free eye exams. Again, I'm not against those. But if you're going to offer those to Medicaid patients who are illegally here in California, you should not ask taxpayers in Texas, in Florida to pay the bill.” (02:19–02:30)
