(This is the third part of “Medicaid Millions,” a Daily Wire series exposing billions of dollars in dubious “personal services” payments where people are paid to spend time with their own family.)
COLUMBUS, Ohio — After the federal government approved a waiver allowing Ohio to expand Medicaid by paying housekeepers to spend time at elderly people’s houses to help with tasks like “homemaking” and “chore services,” taxpayers across the country footed a shocking $2.5 billion worth of bills between 2018 and 2024, according to a trove of Medicaid data released for the first time by the Trump administration.
The demand for free home care was so high in Ohio that taxpayers spent more on that “personal services” category, Medicaid’s term for non-medical in-home help, than any other outpatient service. The program allows for people who aren’t medical professionals to get paid by the government for work done inside private residences, where what was performed, and even whether anything was done, is essentially unverifiable.
The state’s largest outpatient Medicaid category therefore relies on trust. So who’s facilitating payments from the government?
The Daily Wire spent weeks analyzing the Medicaid data released by the Trump administration as part of its effort to weed out wasteful government spending. I went to Ohio, and found clusters of home healthcare providers that bill the government millions of dollars in desolate buildings filled with empty offices.
At 1415 East Dublin Granville Road, one of the Columbus buildings we visited in our investigation, we found True Home Healthcare LLC.
All that appeared on its door was a tattered piece of printer paper that read, “SORRY WE MISSED YOU, OUT FOR A QUICK BREAK.”

Are there any Fed Senators that own medicaid reimbursed health companies?
I am an Arizona State Senator and on the Health and Human Services Committee. We have uncovered so much fraud in AHCCCS which is our Medicaid system. The problem is bureaucrats just don’t care and fraudsters know. They know how to do it and get away with it. These are not isolated examples... this is happening everywhere. We have a Democrat Governor now but it started under Republican leadership. Government tries to do too much and we are failing our citizens. The taxpayers and the people who truly need these services.
