On Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Oz announced the Trump Administration is withholding Medicaid funding to Minnesota amid an investigation into the state’s rampant fraud.
“We have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that are going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligation seriously to be good stewards of the American people’s tax money,” Vance said.
Vance said the Trump Administration is stopping federal payments to the state government until the state government takes its obligations to stop the fraud.
The Vice President said fraudsters are taking money from services designed to help autistic children.
“A lot of people were getting rich off the generosity of the American taxpayer!” Vance said.
“There are kids that need these autism services, and the money is not going to those kids — it’s going to fraudsters in Minneapolis!” Vance said.
“That is unacceptable!” Vance said.
Vance said the generosity and good hearts of Americans are being taken advantage of.
Dr. Oz blasted Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
“This is not a problem with the people of Minnesota. It’s a problem with the leadership of Minnesota and other states who do not take Medicaid preservation seriously,” Dr. Oz said.
“Any delay in services is going to be, should be laid at the at the seat of Governor Walz. I believe he will take this seriously,” he said.
