Ohio Republican gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy pledged aggressive action against Medicaid fraud during a Tuesday event in the state. His remarks followed investigative reports exposing billions in questionable payments. Ramaswamy said he would deliver results within his first six months in office if elected.
Ramaswamy, who won the Ohio Republican primary earlier this month, spoke after Daily Wire reporter Luke Rosiak detailed apparent fraud involving dubious personal services payments. Many recipients appeared to be foreigners receiving funds to spend time with family members. Ramaswamy credited the reporting for elevating the issue as a state priority and described Medicaid as intended only for those who temporarily need assistance.
