Vance amenaza con recortar fondos a estados por fraude en Medicaid

El vicepresidente JD Vance anunció el miércoles que la administración Trump retendrá 1.300 millones de dólares en reembolsos de Medicaid a California y enviará cartas a todos los estados exigiendo medidas más estrictas contra el fraude.

Desde la Casa Blanca, Vance declaró que el gobierno federal está aplazando los pagos debido a que California no ha tomado el fraude con la seriedad suficiente. Según el administrador de los Centros de Servicios de Medicare y Medicaid, el Dr. Mehmet Oz, las autoridades señalaron un abuso generalizado en el sistema de cuidados paliativos del estado y suspendieron a 800 proveedores de los reembolsos federales. La administración está auditando las unidades estatales de control de fraude de Medicaid y podría recortar los fondos destinados a la lucha contra el fraude a aquellos estados que no demuestren una aplicación significativa de las medidas.
