Trump Admin Freezes $259M Medicaid Funds to Minnesota
The Trump administration, through VP J.D. Vance and CMS head Dr. Mehmet Oz, freezes $259 million in federal Medicaid funding to Minnesota over rampant fraud, including $243.8 million in unsupported claims and $15.4 million tied to individuals without proper immigration status. This bold move follows CMS's January notice demanding the state fix its program integrity failures, spotlighting explosive growth in suspicious spending areas. Minnesota Democrats like Gov.
