In a bombshell interview with Laura Ingraham, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz laid bare a systemic, government-enabled pipeline in Democrat-run states that links taxpayer-funded welfare enrollment to voter registration.
According to Dr. Oz, federal laws tying voter registration to welfare programs like Medicaid and SNAP are being exploited to register illegal aliens or non-citizens, effectively stealing elections by building partisan voter bases.
Dr. Oz specifically pointed to Minnesota as a prime example of how the system is being exploited, accusing state officials of making it ‘easy for fraudsters to make out like bandits.’
According to Oz, lax oversight has allowed massive abuse of Medicaid dollars, money that should be reserved for the disabled, children with autism, and families genuinely in need.
Under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) frameworks, enrolling migrants into expansive welfare programs in sanctuary-style states also triggers voter registration mechanisms.
Enacted in 1993, the NVRA was designed to expand voter registration access by mandating that various state offices serve as voter registration agencies.
Section 7 requires states to offer voter registration opportunities at all offices that provide public assistance, including those administering programs such as Medicaid, SNAP, and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
Under Section 7, state agencies are federally mandated to provide a voter registration application with each application for assistance, as well as during every recertification, renewal, or change of address.
This creates a welfare-to-ballot pipeline, effectively allowing left-wing political machines to harvest votes while draining federal resources.
Dr. Oz:
“Well, these fraudsters—and you’re right—Minnesota NICE made it easy for them to make out like bandits. But let me share something with you that I learned recently.By federal law, if you sign someone up for Medicaid, you also give them the right to vote. Ironically, it’s true for SNAP as well. As you give out social services, you also get them registered to vote. You’re building up a very partisan group of individuals.
This is political patronage at the expense of Medicaid. The criminal part here is not just the horrible waste, fraud, and abuse of our federal tax dollars, but that you’re taking money from our most vulnerable citizens.
If you’re lying about the fact that you have Somalian kids pretending to be autistic, that takes services away from kids who truly have autism. You’re trying to make money off an illness that is already a significant challenge, and you’re penalizing our most vulnerable.
This President and Secretary of Health and Human Services, Bobby Kennedy, will not tolerate this. We’re aggressively going after fraud. Jim O’Neill and I are pursuing this aggressively.”
WATCH:
Regarding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins revealed that her department has already uncovered massive fraud within the SNAP and that 21 Democrat-led states are actively blocking efforts to expose it.
“On my first day [USDA], we told every state to send us their SNAP data so we could make sure illegal immigrants aren’t getting benefits meant for American families. 29 states stepped up. 21 blue states refused, and two SUED US FOR ASKING! And guess what? In just the states that cooperated, we’ve already uncovered massive fraud,” Rollins wrote.
“The Democrat Party has turned its back on working Americans and built its entire strategy around protecting illegal aliens. They know if the handouts stop, those illegals will go back home, and Democrats will lose 20+ seats after the next census. There’s a new sheriff in town. [POTUS] will not tolerate waste, fraud, or abuse while hardworking Americans go hungry.”
Rollins accused the Biden White House of ‘buying votes’ through welfare expansion, suggesting that Democrats have turned federal aid into a political weapon.
Rollins said her team has reviewed $100 billion in SNAP spending and already identified widespread abuse and criminal activity.
