Weaponizing the feseral govt against some states?
Oz said that the administration needs California to clarify $630 million in billing, $500 million in home health services and $200 million in “questionable expenditures” linked to coverage for undocumented immigrants, he claimed. They are not eligible for Medicaid, however.
The move is similar to the one the administration took in February suspending Medicaid payments to Minnesota.
This has nothing to do with “fraud”, and everything to do with Californian and Minnesotan resistance to the DHS and ICE incursions of their cities, and punishing their citizens for daring to vote against Trump. California’s Republican voters are just collateral damage to them:
As of 2024, California had a higher Medicaid enrollment rate than the US overall. Enrollment in the state peaked in 2023 at 38.7%
In California, enrollees are categorized into 5 different categories:
- Children
- Pregnant women and parents or caretakers
- Adults without dependent children
- People with disabilities (including both adults and children)
- Seniors (age 65 and over

Californians across party lines overwhelmingly support Medi-Cal. Eighty percent (80%) of Democrats, 75% of Independents, and 62% of Republicans agree that the program should generally stay as it is today.

“Doctor” Oz is no longer just a daytime TV huckster, he’s driving the policy that removes health care from pregnant women, children, and senior citizens. These people are black-hearted, red-eyed evil - “Do what we say, or we’ll take away the taxpayer-funded healthcare you paid for.”
So CA is being targeted. I smell a lawsuit.
Damn. I’m sure that’ll go all the way to the supreme court of rapist pedophiles

Even the people on r/conservative are calling this the dumbest way to handle the issue…
Give them a couple days to acclimate to the new cult rationalizations.
American politics seem to all be ‘politician does something evil, doesn’t get assassinated’
Yet…
This will last until it gets into a court room.
Can’t wait to read the governor candidates responses to this.
could freeze funding for their Medicaid fraud units unless they investigate and prosecute fraud by providers
lolwut?
Meanwhile Rick Scott was in charge of Columbia/HCA while it committed the largest count of Medicaid fraud in history. He’s now a Senator and the Republicans put him in charge of their finances.
Came here to say this. I love it when Republicans pretend to GAF about “fraud”.
They are LYING LIARS.
“If these people actually cared about medicaid fraud they’d kill Rick Scott” – Every Hasan Piker’s hitpiece, completely missing the point that it’s true.
Lol, he really said that? I don’t follow him, but that’s objective af.
He let a thought slip when talking about healthcare and Luigi. Obviously he has to play the song and dance of “it was like when you say ‘kill a bill’”. Hasan has to walk a fine line because he’s in the public eye. But, yeah, we all know it’s true on its face. Obviously we’re not getting healthcare for everyone by assassinations of more CEOs. But he said what we all are often thinking.
