Breaking: Trump regime cuts $260 million in Medicaid funds to Minnesota & stops durable medical equipment enrollment nationally for 6 months to supposedly "combat fraud"
I'm about 98% sure most of this is complete bullshit, but for the moment I'll just post the press release: Today at the White House, Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Dr. Mehmet Oz announced new steps to crack down on fraud in Medicare and Medicaid to protect patients and taxpayers and improve affordability. The actions include deferring $259.5 million of quarterly federal Medicaid funding in Minnesota to prevent payment of questionable claims while further investigation is completed; a nationwide moratorium on Medicare enrollment for certain Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) suppliers; and a nationwide call to action for Americans to support fraud prevention, including stakeholder input on how CMS can continue to expand and strengthen its efforts. ...Medicaid is funded jointly by states and the federal government. CMS is required to ensure Medicaid funds are spent lawfully and that states maintain effective systems to detect, prevent, and recover improper payments. When those obligations are not met, CMS has the authority and responsibility to withhold, defer, or disallow federal funds.
