Vivek Ramaswamy promete combater fraudes bilionárias no Medicaid

O candidato republicano ao governo de Ohio, Vivek Ramaswamy, prometeu medidas agressivas contra fraudes no Medicaid durante um evento no estado nesta terça-feira. Seus comentários seguiram reportagens investigativas que expuseram bilhões em pagamentos questionáveis. Ramaswamy afirmou que apresentará resultados nos seus primeiros seis meses de mandato, caso seja eleito.

Ramaswamy, que venceu as primárias republicanas em Ohio no início deste mês, discursou após o repórter do Daily Wire, Luke Rosiak, detalhar uma aparente fraude envolvendo pagamentos duvidosos por serviços pessoais. Muitos dos beneficiários pareciam ser estrangeiros que recebiam fundos para passar tempo com familiares. Ramaswamy atribuiu às reportagens a elevação do problema como uma prioridade estadual e descreveu o Medicaid como um programa destinado apenas àqueles que precisam de assistência temporária.
