Executive aggrandizement & agency weaponization
The administration halts over $1 billion to California and Minnesota citing ‘suspected fraud,’ and Republican influencers cheer. With no adjudicated evidence presented, the move functions as political punishment that endangers low-income patients—an example of using executive power to hit opponents.

The key word is “suspected” and unless you have actual facts why use an accusation to institute a policy. Actual reports show more Medicaid and Medicare fraud in Texas and Florida but those states are not having funds withheld!

Maybe the states should withhold their federal payments, since they pay in more than most. They are net donors. If they (Washington) withhold funding, then the states should withhold those tax dollars.
Awesome news…. Please starve Minnesota of these funds permanently….. or until there is a new administration with rock solid controls. These funds should be scrutinized to high degrees before being released. States should have to ensure and prove these funds will not be spent on anything untended…. Or they should be forced to pay back the funds.

Maybe Cali and Minnesota will withhold their federal contributions 😉
