O vice-presidente JD Vance anunciou na quarta-feira que o governo Trump está retendo US$ 1,3 bilhão em reembolsos do Medicaid da Califórnia e enviará cartas a todos os estados exigindo medidas mais rigorosas contra fraudes.

Falando da Casa Branca, Vance disse que o governo federal está adiando os pagamentos porque a Califórnia não tratou a fraude com a seriedade necessária. Autoridades citaram abusos generalizados no sistema de cuidados paliativos do estado e suspenderam 800 prestadores de serviços de reembolsos federais, segundo o Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrador dos Centros de Serviços de Medicare e Medicaid. O governo está auditando as Unidades de Controle de Fraude do Medicaid nos estados e poderá cortar verbas de combate a fraudes para aqueles que não demonstrarem uma fiscalização efetiva.
