"The Republican-controlled House Committee on Energy and Commerce sent letters March 3 to 10 states — California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Maine, Nebraska, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Washington —requesting information on fraud, waste and abuse, as well as integrity efforts, in their Medicaid programs.
“These requests come amidst reports and law enforcement actions that have demonstrated high levels of Medicaid fraud across numerous states,” a March 5 news release from the House committee said. “It’s no secret that Medicaid fraud schemes have possibly cost the program billions of dollars annually across the country. These schemes contribute greatly to rising health care costs and strain our healthcare system,all at the expense of Medicaid beneficiaries and taxpayers.”
"In addition, CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz, MD, has been using social media to reach states, most recently New York. He sent New York Gov. Kathy Hochul his own letter requesting information, and he detailed his concerns with New York’s Medicaid program — such as the state’s spending and its use of personal care assistants — in a video posted to X March 3.
“We owe New Yorkers transparency, we owe beneficiaries integrity and we owe the American people accountability,” he said.
"In February, Maine Gov. Janet Mills, who was also a focus for Dr. Oz on X, said this was a “political attack.”
"President Donald Trump specifically called out California, Maine, Massachusetts and Minnesota in his Feb. 24 State of the Union and saidVice President J.D. Vance would lead the country’s “war on fraud.”
“We hate fraud — come in, J.D.,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office posted on X in January. “You’re welcome to personally inspect every couch and flip every cushion.”
"In recent months, Minnesota has been the main target of fraud accusations, prompting CMS to freeze about $260 million in Medicaid funding to the state in February. The state has since filed a lawsuit against the federal government."

No wonder Newscum said in a recent interview that he believes J.D. Vancescares himand ismore dangerous than Trump.
"California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) shared his trepidation about Vice President Vance in a recent interview with MS NOW, describing him as “dangerous.”
“Vance, for whatever reason, scares me, almost more than Trump,” the Democratic governor told host Jen Psaki. “I mean, talk about a guy who put a mask on and his face grew into it.”
"Newsom called Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio “frauds” and “phonies” for reversing their previous criticisms of the president.
“But JD is a unique fraud and phony, and he’s a little more dangerous,” Newsom said.

Was that a call for the bullseye to be trained on J.D now?
January 2026: Newsom office: …"come in [to California], J.D, … you are welcome…"
March 2026: Newsom interview: J.D. "scares me" and is "dangerous" (both in reference to Trump, only"more so."
