Vance turns up heat on states with federal cash threat over Medicaid fraud crackdown

Vice President JD Vance warned states that they could lose federal funding if they fail to aggressively pursue Medicaid fraud, and announced that $1.3 billion in Medicaid reimbursements from California will be deferred. Vance pointed to states like Ohio and Maryland as examples of good cooperation, while criticizing states like California, Hawaii, and New York for not taking the issue seriously. The move is part of a broader crackdown on Medicaid fraud.
