VP Vance: If You Allow Billions More Dollars to Go ‘Not to Healthcare Services,’ But to Fraudsters, You Will Destroy the Medicaid Program

TRANSCRIPT:

VANCE: “There are going to be some, I’m sure, some politicians who say what you’re doing here is harming the Medicaid program. We’re trying to save the Medicaid program from dysfunctional state bureaucrats. If you allow hundreds of millions, billions, even more money, to go out the door, not to health care services for low-income families, but to fraudsters, you eventually are going to destroy the Medicaid program. So this is why we say red state, blue state, this does not need to be a political or a partisan issue. We want to work with you to eliminate fraud and make these programs last longer for the people who truly need them.”
