Trump Cancels $1.3 Billion in Medicaid Payments to Fraud and Piracy Ridden State of California

One Nation Under Fraud: Trump administration uncovers massive welfare, citizenship abuses
The cost to taxpayers identified by Vice President JD Vance's task for targeting government benefit programs is mounting, and no plausible explanations are forthcoming.

The Trump administration's work to pare back waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government has reportedly exposed a vast network of taxpayer-fleecing scams, abuses of immigration, and of the citizenship process across all corners of the United States.
The story involves resettled refugees soaking up federal paychecks to run home healthcare and childcare businesses, transnational criminal organizations exploiting food benefit programs, and scammers using fake student profiles to make off with millions in federal student loans. It also involves non-monetary forms of fraud, especially in immigration -- legal and illegal alike.
Minnesota's Somali community just the start
...
Recent public reports indicate that federally-funded state government programs beyond just Minnesota are ripe for exploitation and fraud. In a sweeping investigation, the Daily Wire and a researcher from the Capital Research Center found that Ohio spent billions of federal dollars on "personal services" payments to home healthcare companies with dubious credentials.
These funds are frequently used to compensate individuals for performing non-medical tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and "companionship" for their own family members. Because these services are conducted inside private residences without supervision, it can be difficult to verify actual service delivery.

Yeah this is just foreigners and other pirates signing up to be paid what they are supposed to do for free -- care for their family members.

"I provided three meals last week to my elderly father." Yeah you're fucking supposed to, jackass. The taxpayer isn't on the hook for buying McDonald's three times (and you charging the taxpayer $200 per "service rendered."

The investigation found a surge in dubious home health companies that appear to exist solely to bill the government. In Columbus, the reporters found a single windowless office building that houses 94 different companies that have collectively billed taxpayers $66 million over a few years. Many of the business owners lacked medical training or had criminal records, the outlet reported.
There is evidence that this type of fraud is specifically encouraged by the way federal government programs are set up. For example, the Office of Refugee Resettlement runs a program that helps new immigrants develop "microenterprises," like home healthcare companies, "to help generate an income and achieve self-sufficiency."
Welfare fraud a top priority
The Trump administration has made hunting down this type of welfare fraud a top priority. President Donald Trump signed an executive order earlier this year establishing a national task force to combat such fraud and appointed Vice President JD Vance to lead it.
...
California and Ohio were apparently only the tip of the iceberg. On Wednesday, the task force announced that it would be halting $1.4 billion in federal funding for home health and hospice providers across the entire United States.
Vance also issued an ultimatum to all 50 states on Wednesday, demanding they show that they are adequately protecting against fraud in federally funded Medicaid programs, or risk losing that funding.
"Today, we are sending, across 50 Medicaid programs, letters that will require them to show that they are effectively and aggressively prosecuting Medicaid fraud in their states," Vance said at a press conference. "These letters are the first step. The first effort to try to force these states to get serious about prosecuting fraud."
"We're a generous country. We're generous people. I love that about this country," the vice president added. "But part of that generosity is that it extends to our fellow Americans. We cannot give Medicare and Medicaid benefits to everybody all over the world."

They've cancelled $1.3 billion in Medicaid payments to California due to Newsom deliberately allowing widespread looting of the American treasury, gay "news" network NBC complains.

Vice President JD Vance announced Wednesday that the Trump administration is withholding $1.3 billion in Medicaid payments to California and is threatening to suspend federal funding to all states if they don't aggressively prosecute fraud in their Medicaid programs.
As part of his role as the fraud czar, Vance said that the administration is targeting California because the state isn't taking fraud seriously.
"There are California taxpayers and American taxpayers who are being defrauded because California isn't taking its program seriously, but also you have people who have been prescribed medications that they don't even need. They've had drugs put into their bodies that they don't need because fraudsters have actually encouraged false prescriptions and false administration of medications," Vance said at the White House.
The move is similar to the one the administration took in February suspending Medicaid payments to Minnesota.

17 More CA grifting by Gavin......from the CA Post:

Child advocates and lawmakers are furious with Gov. Gavin Newsom as California’s pediatric hearing aid program has spent tens of millions of dollars on administrative fees while delivering only a few hundred hearing aids.

Nearly five years after Newsom pushed lawmakers toward a state-run alternative instead of requiring private insurers to cover pediatric hearing aids, California’s Hearing Aid Coverage for Children Program had around 300 active enrolled members despite spending almost $23 million, according to a report delivered last month to a state Senate budget committee. That works out to about $76,000 per person.

Michelle Marciniak, founder of Let California Kids Hear, told The Post that the governor’s office has dropped the ball.

You know one of the easiest ways to stop a bunch of this? Make it "50 states under fraud" by cutting off the national money flow.

Any new party immediately gets banned from everything for racism or whatever. Even if it doesn't get banned which it will if it gets remotely viable, it gets branded by the media and fake viral SNL and once that happens forget it.

And even if the best happens and it becomes viable you have one or more cycles like what's going on in UK where it merely splits the right and leaves a weakened left still hanging on by default.

I firmly believe the fraud was coordinated from state and federal government. Biden relaxed fraud detection systems.

Sure, the lawsuit would have no prayer. It would be dismissed with prejudice right out of the box. BUT, when filed the amount of fanfare that could be produced through proper promotion, countrywide events etc. would do the next best thing. It would make the issue known to everyone, and present Govt. (and politicians) with an even worse reputation than they have now.

I once met a woman who was a Russian doctor for years before coming here. Basically, when it gets to the point that most people realize there is rampant fraud and stealing, almost everyone starts doing it because if you don't you can't survive. People don't do their jobs unless you bribe them, basically. It sounded like an insane hellscape.

95 I have to admit that my parents, and aunt who lives with and assisted them, were paid a stipend for caring for my elderly grandparents in my parents' home. The amount wasn't lavish, but it made the endeavor possible until the Grands passed last year. We would have done what we could to make it work without that stipend, of course, but they almost surely would have ended up in a nursing home and that would have been at government expense eventually as well as the entire family together couldn't afford such a thing long term.

Yep. They're spending $0.50 per diaper on that boondoggle. You don't even have to go to a discount store to do far better than that. You can easily find diapers at $0.17 each without going to Costco or Sam's or WalMart or looking for sales. Any random grocery store has them at that price.

People vote for these programs on the basis that it makes them good people but charity cannot involve taking from others at gunpoint so that it can be distributed as you see fit. These programs are immoral. They are harmful. And they encourage poor behavior.

Makes good people do the wrong thing for the right reason.

How many times has there been a disaster and everyone is wondering who to give to and we find so many of the 'charities' really use like 60-80% of funds collected just to maintain their own internal bureaucracy?

This was different when people donated things like actual food or time and work. Those are tangible things that it is harder to graft. But they are also more difficult, which is what people take advantage of.

A common point people make to socialists is there is nothing stopping them from pooling their money and living commune/socialist style. The answer to that is usually some variant on "but then we couldn't take YOUR money".

Well, in a thread I was reading earlier I saw a completely new answer to the point...

Socialists aren't and shouldn't go form their own communes because it would be so great people outside the commune would get the benefits and free riders are wrong and evil.

Yep. That's a take I guess. What are these benefits others would get? Unsaid. Why free riding is a problem when a non-socialist would get it from a socialist group instead of the real world reverse? Also unsaid

But, honestly, how many hearing aids do poor people really need? How much of the supposed number against which they're comparing "a few hundred" is really needy?

Remember as you look at this fraud, that a huge part of the problem is them defining "needy" so broadly that, in reality, most of the people who "need" this help DON'T EVEN EXIST. It's not that a lot of daycares, or medicaid helpers, or school lunch kids, or desperately poor deaf kids are not receiving the money to which they're supposedly entitled because someone is committing fraud. No, the problem is that those kids, those poor people, never really existed in the first place.

You've been gaslit. On homeless people. On hungry kids. On poor sick people. They have weaponized your compassion to a great extent by lying about how many of these folks there really are.

175 Unwinding it all would be a crisis the federal government couldn't survive, and many cities would burn.

A way to look at this is "how many goods and services does this area produce that other people will pay for?"

My neighborhood has people that work in corporate offices, run small businesses, and works as cops or nurses.

Now go into your average FSA urban area. Outside of a few small business types (maybe phones maybe drugs probably both) who is providing a good or service? And yet no one is going hungry there are they?

179 Crowley was actually a type of Satanist. He is, naturally, often revered by all the usual suspects.

Karl Marx actually started out being a pretty standup guy, but he soon rejected any sort of religion, indeed becoming quite anti-theist, to the extreme. What happened?

His writings, those that are available (many are not) upon close inspection lend credence to the theory he fell in with occult or Satan worshipping crowd.

My State, Michigan, has I program to pay you for doing this but it is not for me because I don't feel right about getting paid for what I vowed when we married. Plus the whole thing is setup that you have to join the SEIU and pay their dues, which funds the Left. Screw that.

224 Crazy how newsom was already revoking licenses for the hospice fraud going back to at least 2021. It is the fraud cycle:

1. Fraud happens.

2. Because democrats actually target and prosecute white collar crimes, California auditors and attorneys find the fraud.

3. California prosecutes the fraud.

4. Journalists report on fraud.

5. Right wing culture war slop warriors read the articles put out by journalists.

6. Said slop warriors claim to have found the fraud and that democrats have done nothing about it.

7. Nothing happened in red states because they don't prosecute fraud.

8. Repeat the cycle.

This happens because republicans always run on promising to balance the budget, but they can't do it without shutting down popular programs. The solution is to claim that there is trillions in fraud and that they are always just 2 weeks away from discovering it and finally balancing the budget, and they would have already done it if it weren't for the dastardly democrats.

Crazy talk. What you need to do is start a campaign to get that song banned so nobody else can ever hear it and device for themselves whether they like it or not. Same with tv shows and movies don’t like.

262 Alistair Crowley came from an extended family with a generational witchcraft tradition.

Society of the Golden Dawn was spawned by new age spiritualists with dubious ideas and practices. Alistair from one story was in a power struggle to become the leader, took their worship place over, and immediately changed the locks.

Meanwhile, across town, two brothers, new arrivals with a store that would fit in my living room get busted over showing $30K a month in FS sales, mostly beer sales and yes they were buying them at half price. They were suspended from the food stamps program for 60 days.

Saw a YouTube vid of Indians in Canada pulling a neat scam. In this college town (forgot where) there’s a place where college students can go and eat for free. So this one Indian decided he’d buy a sweatshirt with the college logo and pretend to be a student and eat free whenever he wanted. And he boasted about it on social media saying look how gullible these Canadians are.

Other Indians started doing the same and it became a thing.

Eventually it got out and the scam was stopped. I think student ID is bow required. And the original scammer supposedly was fired from his job when it all came out.

282 SSDI started to go downhill the minute they let non citizens in. Congress did that. Go back and look at when they changed the law. It correlates directly to the decline in SSDI. They allowed people with certain legal status to suck off the program. They also allowed people with green cards to pull their sick parents from whatever shithole they lived in and put them on SSDI.

They need to revamp the entire program.

286 EBT people to tend to be fat because they eat shitty food full of empty calories. It takes some effort to eat well
———

They eat too much. It takes willpower to put the fork down. 2000 calories a day, the RDA, is based on a sort of mythical ideal person who is moderately active after work.

My favorite propaganda in action, whenever the “news” websites has a story or article about EBT and the rest of it, they usually show something like a shopping cart - a small one, though, and it’s chock full of Brussel Sprouts and Soy “Milk” and. Broccoli Florets. It is hilarious.

I used to watch these 350 pound SOBs waddle up to the register with a huge shopping cart FULL of steaks, chops, ground beef. More meat than I’ve consumed in years, seems like. It’s unreal. If they aren’t stealing directly, it’s indirectly. BAMN

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s former top aide Dana Williamson pled guilty to federal fraud and tax charges after reaching a deal with prosecutors.

Williamson, who was Newsom’s chief of staff from 2022 and 2024 and a top Sacramento power broker, appeared at Robert T. Matsui U.S. Courthouse in Sacramento Thursday to enter her guilty plea to counts of conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, subscribing to a false tax return and making false statements.

Williamson was arrested in November 2025 in what prosecutors called a scheme to bilk $225,000 from a dormant campaign account to pay for personal expenses.
