Dr. Oz welcomes move by states to reduce migrant health coverage
Dr. Mehmet Oz, the celebrity doctor who oversees Medicaid and Medicare for the Trump administration, welcomes the move by a trio of blue states — California, Illinois and Minnesota — to freeze or reduce health care benefits for undocumented migrants. He told NewsNation's 'CUOMO' on Friday that some states broadened their public medical programs to include migrants because they could leverage federal dollars to pay for it, but Medicaid is supposed to be reserved for the most vulnerable Americans. 'If we extend it to illegal immigrants without keeping tabs of what those costs are — and especially if we have a system that encourages states to do legalized money laundering, to push more money towards able-bodied individuals — the dollar doesn't stretch that far. You end up bankrupting the whole system,' the former TV host said Friday. In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) proposes suspending new health care enrollment for undocumented adults, although existing patients would continue to receive some coverage. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) would go further, ending his state's immigrant adult health program, which covers more than 30,000 people, on July 1. Minnesota is making undocumented adults ineligible for health care assistance by the end of the year. 'Taking care of a large population of undocumented folks has become a problem, and states have to manage that,' Oz said. The top health official's comments come after the administration moved to end Obamacare's coverage of immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally as children, according to a final rule announced Friday. The provision will undo a Biden-era rule that was estimated to allow 147,000 immigrants to enroll in coverage. A federal judge blocked the rule from being enforced in 19 states, and it is still being litigated in court.

What is the Iranian perspective at this stage? It's complicated
(NewsNation) — Two panelists — Iranian American journalist Negar Mortazavi and Aaron David Miller, a former Middle East peace negotiator — join 'CUOMO' to try to assess the future of Iran, a country with more than 90 million people, now that it's in conflict with Israel. They say the dynamics are too complicated to make predictions, but Miller offers this grim assessment: 'I don't think this is going to have a happy ending. Iran's going to play the long game.'

Comic: Trump, Musk feud shows they're both ‘in pain'
Comedian and podcast host Adam Friedland said the recent spat between President Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk shows both men are hurting and lashing out at one another in frustration. 'I'm a blue comedian, but I don't know if its right to forget that we are adults here and someone is suffering,' Friedland told host Chris Cuomo Thursday evening during an appearance on NewsNation's 'CUOMO.' 'If you look at the tweets today, these gentlemen are in pain,' he continued. 'And I think we live in a tremendously lonely time right now and so we forget how painful it is to lose a friend.' Trump and Musk's relationship unraveled in real time on Thursday after Trump pushed back on the billionaire's criticism of the 'big beautiful' spending bill with the legislative priorities he is trying to push through Congress. Musk responded by accusing Trump of having ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while the president threatened to cancel government contracts to the tech guru's companies. One of the richest people on earth, Musk became a close ally of the president as Trump ran for the White House last fall, pouring millions into his campaign and eventually serving as a key adviser to the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk suggested on Thursday that Trump would not have won the election without him, and has used X, the social platform he owns, to advocate for the president's impeachment. He also floated a possible third party in America to appeal to 'the 80 percent in the middle.' Despite the squabble, the Tesla CEO offered a minor sign of peace toward the White House later Thursday.

High court ruling on reverse discrimination a no-brainer: Chuck Rocha
(NewsNation) — The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously rejected legal precedent that people in a majority group have a higher standard for proving discrimination. Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha agrees with the high court decision. 'Discrimination doesn't say, 'Oh, you have to be black,' or, 'You have to be a woman,' or, 'You have to be gay.' … Discrimination means you're treating me different,' he says on 'CUOMO.'
