Mehmet Oz confronts a director at a New York senior care centre, handing warning letters over Medicaid bills he said were "much higher than they should be" and claims the 'Chinese mafia' may be involved.

Medicare and Medicaid chief Dr Mehmet Oz claimed the 'Chinese mafia' may be paying people to help run the scam. He handed warning letters to Kent Senior Care and Evergreen Adult Day Care in Flushing, Queens, among more than 80 visits across the city on Tuesday. 'The whole experience was suspicious,' he said. Donald Trump and JD Vance unveiled a $25 million fraud whistleblower scheme the same day.

The FBI, IRS, NYPD and state agencies joined searches in Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island.

Oz told Kent's director: 'The bills are much higher than they should be.'

Oz asked whether American taxpayers should be funding a room full of mahjong tables.
