Vance says Minnesota’s Medicaid funds halted as part of Trump’s ‘war on fraud’

JD Vance announced on Wednesday that the Trump administration would “temporarily halt” more than a quarter-billion dollars in Medicaid reimbursements to the state of Minnesota, escalating Donald Trump’s newly announced “war on fraud”.

“What we’re doing is we are stopping the federal payments that will go to the state government until the state government takes its obligations seriously to stop the fraud that’s being perpetrated against the American taxpayer,” the vice-president said at a press conference in Washington, where he was joined by Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid.

Oz said it was the first time the government had taken such an action against a state. “It’s unponderable that you would take advantage of these precious programs,” he said, adding that while Minnesota was first, other states would be next.

Oz also announced that the administration was imposing a six-month national moratorium on federal funding for people who need durable medical equipment, including prostheses and orthotics. New enrollments for federal funds for such devices would be halted due to concerns about benefit fraud, he said.

Other reporting I have seen said Maine, Massachusetts, and California, are also in the regime's crosshairs.

Take enough away from the Proles, and the budget will be balanced. They they can give the "JCs" more tax cuts.
