By Royal A. Brown III
Another Democrat hill to die on is healthcare medicaid funding for illegals. Govt shutdown holdout for another 1.5T including healthcare for illegals grows even more ridiculous.
Republicans in Congress must stick to knitting here and not cave – average hard working, law abiding, tax paying, American Joe citizen feels no pain from shutdown.
Trump Admin Discovers a Ton of Money Going to Illegal Aliens for Healthcare
The Trump administration has identified more than $1 billion in taxpayer money that was improperly used to fund healthcare for illegal immigrants, according to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Director Dr. Mehmet Oz.
The revelation comes as the government shutdown enters its fourth week amid an ongoing standoff over federal spending priorities.
In an interview with Fox & Friends this week, Dr. Oz said investigators have reviewed records from only about half a dozen states so far and already discovered more than $1 billion in misspent Medicaid funds.
“The receipts don’t lie,” Dr. Oz said, adding that the administration is in the process of “clawing back” the funds that were misused.
The discovery adds to growing concerns about waste and fraud in federally funded healthcare programs.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been auditing spending under the direction of the Trump administration, has found extensive evidence of improper payments linked to illegal immigrants’ use of Medicaid services.
Dr. Oz said the administration’s investigation is ongoing and that additional states are expected to come under review in the coming months.
Officials emphasized that only a small portion of the nationwide Medicaid system has been examined so far, suggesting that the total amount of misspent funds could ultimately be much higher.
The latest findings come as the federal government remains partially shut down following disagreements in Congress over budget priorities.
