Vivek Ramaswamy promete acabar con el fraude millonario en Medicaid

El candidato republicano a gobernador de Ohio, Vivek Ramaswamy, prometió tomar medidas contundentes contra el fraude en Medicaid durante un evento celebrado el martes en el estado. Sus declaraciones se produjeron tras la publicación de informes de investigación que revelaron miles de millones en pagos cuestionables. Ramaswamy aseguró que, de ser elegido, ofrecería resultados en sus primeros seis meses de mandato.

Ramaswamy, quien ganó las primarias republicanas de Ohio a principios de este mes, habló después de que el reportero de Daily Wire, Luke Rosiak, detallara un aparente fraude relacionado con pagos dudosos por servicios personales. Muchos beneficiarios parecían ser extranjeros que recibían fondos para pasar tiempo con familiares. Ramaswamy reconoció que el reportaje elevó el problema como una prioridad estatal y describió a Medicaid como un programa destinado exclusivamente a quienes necesitan asistencia de manera temporal.
