FULL SPEECH: JD Vance visits Wisconsin, addresses Democrats during Trump SOTU speech

The Trump administration fired the opening salvo in its newly declared “war on fraud” when Vice President JD Vance and Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, announced nearly $260 million in Medicaid funds would be withheld from Minnesota. The shadow of fraud has been hanging over Minnesota for years. President Donald Trump singled Minnesota out during his State of the Union speech, accusing the state’s Somali community of stealing an estimated $19 billion from American taxpayers. It was during the State of the Union speech that Trump announced the so-called war on fraud that he said would be led by Vance. The next day, Vance and Oz told reporters that the administration would temporarily halt Medicaid funding for Minnesota as part of a more aggressive crackdown on fraud. “There are way too many Americans who are being defrauded by very bad actors in our society, people who take the goodwill and the trust of the American taxpayer, and they decide to use it against us,” Vance said. “They decide to make themselves rich instead of allowing these programs that are set up to make it easier for people to take care of their families, to make it easier for autistic kids to get the afterschool services they need, to make it easier for people to get the health care that they need. And we are going to start, very aggressively the administration, cracking down on the people and the organizations that are defrauding Americans.” Vance said Medicaid providers in Minnesota have been paid by the state, but the federal reimbursement would be withheld until the administration determined the state had a handle on the fraud and was being a good steward of taxpayer dollars. Oz said they believe the government is spending $300 billion a year on health care that flows to fraudulent, abusive or wasteful purposes. _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: WWMT on Facebook:   / wwmtnews   WWMT on Twitter:   / wwmtnews   Subscribe to WWMT on YouTube:    / @wwmtnews   WWMT Daily News Digest:    • WWMT-TV Daily Digest   For more information, visit https://www.wwmt.com/ Have a news tip?
