JD Vance is threatening to withhold federal Medicaid reimbursement from states that do not investigate and weed out fraud.

The vice president, who is chairman of President Donald Trump’s anti-fraud task force, is set to issue the ultimatum on Wednesday, paired with a new audit of the state-level watchdogs tasked with preventing Medicaid fraud, administration officials tell The Wall Street Journal.

Thomas Bell, inspector general at the Department of Health and Human Services, laid out the administration’s threat in a letter to all states, which was obtained by the Journal.

“This means your failure to do your job has put all of your state’s Medicaid funds in jeopardy,” the letter reads.

JD Vance accusing others of fraud?

[Roy Rolling]

1. Medicaid fraud?

Exactly what is that? Is Couch-fucker saying his government does a bad job of “getting their money’s worth” when giving states MEDICAID money?

So the people who are doing a terrible job are rolling out terrible job 2.0 to manage themselves for not doing their job in the first place?

To MAGAts, Americans are one big couch.

[Skittles]

2. the thinking of these grifting repukes

is that ANYONE who needs help is committing FRAUD

[BurnDoubt]

3. So sayers The Fraud Himself...

What’s his Real Name again??????

[BurnDoubt]

4. Doh!

“Sayeth”
I hate when I hit send before proof-reading!

5. The Vice Pesident has ZERO power to do anything.

He can spout his useless ultimatums until the couches come home....
The job was once described as "not worth a bucket of warm piss":

[not fooled]

6. Their goal is to end Medicaid

this is their flimsy excuse.

7. Worse yet....

they are placing a mortuarium on all new MEDICARE enrollments for specific types (hospice and home care):

The Trump administration on Wednesday pursued new efforts in a sweeping initiative to root out fraud in federal health programs, including announcing a nationwide six-month freeze on some new Medicare enrollments and warning states to actively investigate Medicaid fraud or risk losing funding.

The moves are related to Vice President JD Vance's anti-fraud task force, which has been accelerating its messaging before the November elections. The panel set up by Republican President Trump seeks to crack down on potential misuse of public money.

The most significant step Wednesday came from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services with a nationwide six-month moratorium on all new Medicare enrollments by providers of hospice and home care.

I believe it was stated on Easter the states need to fund the Medicare/Medicaid/Daycare "scams". The Feds need the money to wage war......it was said...

8. Absolutely. Another way for Republicans to steal money

from everyone. Mind boggloing how out of touch with reality anyone who supports a Republican is.

[FakeNoose]

9. Does this mean they're planning to investigate the insurers and the service providers?

If there's any fraud going on, it's most likely going to be among these groups, not among the individual beneficiaries.

10. In unrelated news, IRS is firing agents that specialize in large corporation audits.

[question everything]

11. Does he have the authority?

[Fil1957]

12. Petty, vindictive, deceitful -- just what we've come to expect from this "administration", but not that big a deal.

The Medicaid or Medi-Cal (as we call it in California) budget is well above 220 billion dollars making the 1.3 billion just a tiny drop in the bucket.

So, no Grandma is not going to be kicked out of her home and living in a tent under an overpass as much as Vance and others would like to see that happen.
