WATCH: Vance and Oz announce numerous moves on Medicaid and Medicare fraud, focusing on Democratic-run states
The Trump administration has moved to curb fraud in federal health programs, with Vice President JD Vance announcing a six-month moratorium on new Medicare enrollments by hospice and home-care providers and deferring or withholding billions in Medicaid reimbursements. California faces a $1.3 billion deferral; other reports note similar penalties or pauses tied to fraud investigations. Sources differ on scope: The Hill and NY Times describe withholding and threats of broader action; CNN notes the pause on enrollments; Guardian US emphasizes a broader warning to states to “get serious.” The White House argues these steps target high-risk providers while critics cite political framing.
