Federal Warning: Medicaid Fraud Threatens State Funding
Liberty Check
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a stark warning to Minnesota’s governor: restore program integrity or face the loss of federal Medicaid funds. Dr. Mehmet Oz cited a billion-dollar Medicaid fraud scheme involving Minnesota’s Somali community, with claims that some funds may have ended up supporting Al-Shebab terrorists.
Dr. Oz demanded immediate action from Gov. Tim Walz, calling for detailed anti-fraud efforts in response to the massive taxpayer abuse. He alleged state leaders neglected their duty, leading to rampant misuse of resources.
- CMS calls for weekly anti-fraud updates and a corrective action plan from Minnesota leadership.
- Oz reports Medicaid expenses recently exploded under two state programs, reaching hundreds of millions annually.
- The Trump administration has launched new federal probes into Minnesota’s Medicaid fraud, connecting some stolen funds to terrorist activity.
Accountability in government is non-negotiable. Defenders of limited government and our constitutional system must call out corruption and press for decisive reform at both state and federal levels.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
