Dr. Oz discusses running Medicare and Medicaid

What have you found so far and what kind of number have you found so far? Oh, it's billions and billions of dollars. I'll give you one concrete example, which also speaks to the malalignment. We have billions of dollars spent a year providing Medicaid insurance to people who have lived in one state that moved to a different state. That happens in America. We've got 50 states. But if you have your health care Medicaid insurance in California, but you also have moved to Nevada last year, well then we, the federal government are paying for you both in California and in Nevada.

CLAIM

Asserts billions are spent on Medicaid for people who have moved states.
