This week, the Vice President spoking for the Administration, noted that Federal contributions to Medicaid are being frozen...
1)

because of fraud found in the Medicaid programs of several states.

The VP was speaking about a fact, about something that several investigative journalists have found, and that Federal investigations are looking at in California and some other states.
2)

So what was the response from the Democrats?

One democrat Senator responded by saying, “Well, the Administration has cut off millions from Medicaid.

So let’s look at the facts. Medicaid is administered by the States, not the Federal Government.
3)

To be eligible for Medicaid help, one- by law - must be an American Citizen or a Permanent Resident. What the Administration did was end Medicaid for those who are neither citizens nor legal permanent residents — which is already the law in the USA.
4)

Those estates that were providing Medicaid for illegal residents, lost that money. That is what the law, passed by Congress requires.

So that Democrat’s statement is either ignorant or a lie.

Can I make it any more simple?
5)

Yet, that false accusation has been repeated again and again, but people on the left from Senator Schumer to Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, to Mayor of NY Mamdani, to a whole list of Democrat Congress members and Senators. Ignorance or intentional lie. You decide.
6)

One more point. One of the Institutions that whistleblowers discovered in California, was a Hospice Provider, collecting Medicaid and Medicare money, claiming giving services to 40 hospice residents.
7)

When investigated, there was not even one patient in what clearly was a derelict old motel. The provider was receiving $ 60,000 - $80,000 a month. And this was just one operation."
