According to Fox News, Dr. Oz stated that taxpayers are covering a $14 billion bill for Medicaid fraud while eligible patients face challenges accessing care. This government spending inefficiency is raising concerns among traders about fiscal policy stability, potentially increasing volatility in the crypto market as investors look for alternatives to traditional assets amid growing mistrust in public sector financial management (Source: Fox News, May 25, 2025).

According to @SpeakerJohnson, as cited by @WhiteHouse and @RapidResponse47, there will be no Medicaid cuts, but efforts are underway to eliminate what is described as fraud involving 1.4 million undocumented individuals and 4.8 million able-bodied non-working recipients on Medicaid (source: Twitter/@SpeakerJohnson, May 25, 2025). For cryptocurrency traders, this policy clarification could signal reduced federal spending uncertainty, potentially stabilizing risk sentiment in US dollar pairs and risk-on digital asset sectors in the short term. The focus on fraud elimination, not broad program cuts, reduces immediate fears of fiscal tightening that can impact crypto liquidity flows.
