Dr Oz Newsom fraud medicare hospice Trump.

A new front in the battle between Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and President Donald Trump’s Republican administration has opened over a video in which the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services alleges Armenians in Los Angeles orchestrated health care fraud. The feud reached a peak Thursday when Newsom announced his office was filing a civil rights complaint accusing CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz of discrimination related to the video. Newsom’s office argues Oz spread baseless allegations. Oz says $3.5 billion in hospice and home care fraud has taken place in Los Angeles. Oz and CMS haven’t responded to a request for comment and haven’t publicly shared details confirming the alleged fraud.
