Dr. Oz Tells People Losing Healthcare Coverage To Stop Eating Cake

Former TV doctor Mehment Oz, who is currently running the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, told Fox host Stuart Varney this week that people who are afraid of being kicked off Medicaid should just “stop eating carrot cake.” This is an administration filled with not just the dumbest human beings on the planet, but also dumb people who have absolutely no empathy for other human beings. Oz clearly believes that the people on Medicaid deserve to suffer, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

In the runup to the French Revolution, it was Let them Eat cake, which of course is a misquote attributed to Marie Antoinette. That's not exactly what she said, but it is kind of what she meant, right? Either way, the phrase Let them eat Cake became associated for centuries. Now with the elite, the people looking down on the poor, and of course associated with revolution. Unfortunately today the Trump administration is not telling us, let them eat cake. In fact, they're telling us the opposite. You can't even eat cake. And yes, that is what Dr. Meme, Oz, the failed Republican Senate candidate who got a second chance under Trump and is now the administrator of the Medicare and Medicaid services office, said this week in an interview with Fox host Stuart Varney about people, uh, that are losing their Medicaid don't eat cake.

So we've actually gone from people being offended to being told to eat cake when they don't have bread and food to now, Hey, you don't have bread and food, but also don't eat cake. I, I'm sure the, uh, French revolutionaries from a couple hundred years ago would definitely have something to say about that. But here's what happened with Dr. Oz. During his conversation with Stuart Varney, they were talking about the one big beautiful Bill Act, and Varney brought up the fact that, hey, man, uh, 11 million people are probably gonna be kicked off Medicaid. Varney said 11 million people would lose their coverage because of the changes to Medicaid. That's gonna be a political problem for you, isn't it? And Oz said, I don't believe that number's correct. Medicare and Medicaid are the backbone of the social safety net of our country. We must preserve these entities.

He said that Medicaid was of course, addressed in the bill because of waste, fraud, and abuse, which has become one of the only things this administration even knows how to say. Medicaid was addressed in the bill, not because of waste, fraud, and abuse, not because people are taking advantage of the program. They targeted it because it was a place that had a lot of money and they needed that money to pay for the tax cuts for the wealthy people like Dr. Oz and Stuart Varney, who will get those tax cuts. But then Oz continued. He said, if you're able bodied and able to work and you're not, on average, you're spending 6.1 hours a day watching television or just hanging out. So we're saying you ought to try to go to work. That, of course, is a complete and total fabrication. Complete and total. More than 90% of people on Medicaid already do work. The few that do not have actively searched for jobs or have even held a job within the last six months. And then there's another portion of them who have actively

Retired. But this administration doesn't recognize that they have retired. So they're still gonna force these people out of retirement, back to work. Nothing will, will be saved. Lives certainly will not be. But anyway, Oz continues will be there for you, the American people, when you need help with Medicaid and Medicare. But you gotta stay healthy as well. Do the most you can to really live up to your God-given potential to live a full and healthy life. Don't eat carrot cake. Eat real food. So not only is this, yes, we're taking your healthcare Yes, don't eat cake. So you got the elitism all over it. We're taking your healthcare so I, Dr. Oz can have a tax break.
