Vice President JD Vance announced that the Trump administration will temporarily halt certain Medicaid funding to Minnesota as part of its effort to combat rampant fraud in the state.
"We're announcing today that 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 obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money,” Vance said on Wednesday.
Vance explained that the providers in Minnesota have already been paid, and the Trump administration is halting federal payments that will go to the state government until it "takes its obligations seriously to stop the fraud that is being perpetrated against the American taxpayers." He made the funding announcement alongside Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, the vice president noted that the Department of Justice and the Treasury Department would be involved in the effort to uncover fraud. “There’s a whole host of tools that we have never used,” Vance said.
During the State of the Union on Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced that Vance would lead the administration’s “war on fraud.” The president accused some Minnesota Somalians of having “pillaged” billions of dollars from American taxpayers.
As he has taken on this role, Vance said that the Trump administration is implementing a "whole of government approach" to take fraud "seriously."
Scuttled by a federal district judge in 3..2..1..
Make Tiny Timmy Tampon Somali turn all the tampons back over to the U.S. Government.
Well, that didn’t take long.
Just how much fraud is there? Wouldn’t Tampon Tim know?
Trot out the poor women and children. Maybe we can get them on the news for tonight.
Time keeps ticking and each day it seems to me to be on the side of the communists.
Vance already making moves. This ain’t gonna be a ghost operation, I’m sure of it.
Why not just make Minnesota payback all teh fraud that was stolen.
Maybe because with holding is faster and easier..just a guess
Perhaps the mess in MN is just a warm-up for CA, this is going to be fun. Illinois too, NY is going to hang itself anyway, best to just get out of the way.
If in fact this is real, (which I doubt), then it’s a giant FU to the Trump administration’s attempt to shut down Triangle Head™ fraud in Minnesota and should have been instantly met with the arrest, at 3AM by SWAT teams, of Tampon Timmy, his filthy lieutenants and every Somali scumbag - including Omar - involved in ripping us off. That is the only way the games that leftist filth play will quickly end.
I posted the source and the house members name is in the photo
Prove to yourself it’s authenticity
Tampon Tim must have an untraceable off shore account nobody has busted him yet.
My daughter sent me an internet meme claiming that Trump was blocking all Durable Medical Equipment DME for 6 months. And that people who needed wheelchairs and oxygen wouldn’t be able to get them.
The truth is that there is a moratorium on new dme suppliers for 6 months while medicare strengthens the rules against fraud. There are plenty of suppliers already in the system, and they aren’t affected.
If he does, I don’t think he set it up. I don’t think his stupidity is an act.
California fraud and rip-offs of Federale tax dollars dwarfs Minnesota, but a great start here. To think that Minnesota used to have a rep as an honest boring, ice fishing state, full of honest boring Scandinavians.
Their Somali mess n thievery started in the Papa Bush/Bill Clintoon era. When the Minnesota Lutheran Church decided it would be a great idea (the Feds paid them too, per refugee) to import a few hundred thousand Somali refugees. Unlike legal immigrants, refugees can get on any n all welfare programs immediately.
Scandinavian nations are known for their high trust societies. The dummies in the Lutheran church assumed Somali Muslims are a high trust people too. Instead they are gypsy thieves who are on all welfare programs. That have a line on every way to steal from Minnesota, Minneapolis, Federal government.
I don’t think his stupidity is an act.
Agree but he’s in the good old boy democrat club aka paid pawn and gets his ego i fed with an account in his name to make him feel smart.
