Dr. Oz Tells Medicaid Patients ‘Don’t Eat Carrot Cake’ as Insurance Cuts Loom
UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – Dr. Mehmet Oz downplays Medicaid cuts, urging healthier living as nearly 11 million Americans face potential loss of health coverage under President Trump's 2026 budget bill.
- On Monday, Dr. Mehmet Oz presented host Stuart Varney with a carrot cake dubbed the `MAHA Medi-cake`, telling Americans on Medicaid `Don’t eat carrot cake` as they face cuts.
- Earlier this month, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, extending 2017 tax cuts while enacting the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts and requiring 80 monthly hours of work or volunteering.
- Dr. Mehmet Oz said Medicaid reforms target `fraud, waste and abuses`, and he dismissed projections that nearly 11 million people could lose coverage as a design to encourage healthier lifestyles.
- On X, Senator Elizabeth Warren warned `17 million people are going to lose their health insurance because of the Trump administration`, and Oz’s gesture ignited widespread social media criticism.
- Reuters reported that 7.8 million Americans could be cut from Medicaid by 2034, while Medicaid currently covers one in five Americans.
