経済 · Medicaid fraud · アーカイブHHS、詐欺の疑いを理由にカリフォルニア州とミネソタ州のメディケイド資金10億ドルを凍結執筆 2026年9月7日 21:22 UTC視聴文字起こし0:00The Trump administration has frozen more0:01than $1 billion in Medicaid payments to0:03California and Minnesota, and the0:05governors of both states are pushing0:07back hard, calling the move a political0:09stunt without evidence. Health and Human0:11Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.0:13and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz0:15announced the deferral on July 21st,0:17citing suspected fraud. The largest0:20single deferral targets California at0:21more than 867 million dollars, with0:24Minnesota facing nearly 200 million.0:27CMS cited rapid spending growth in0:29in-home care programs and billing0:30anomalies as the reason for the0:32deferral. Administrator Oz said the0:34agency is, quote, "Done trying to chase0:36down stolen and misused funds after0:38they've already left the building."0:40California officials pushed back0:41immediately. They say the increase in0:43in-home care spending reflects a0:45deliberate strategy to keep people out0:47of nursing homes, not fraud. Governor0:49Gavin Newsom called the move, in his0:51words, "The same recycled political0:52stunt we've seen before," accusing the0:54administration of political targeting.0:56Administrator Oz defended the decision,0:59saying the agency is taking a tough new1:01stance on improper payments. Minnesota1:03Medicaid Director John Connolly stated1:05that CMS did not provide the data or1:07explanation for how the $199 million1:10deferral was calculated. State officials1:12say they were given no opportunity to1:14address the concerns before the funds1:16were frozen. Governor Newsom has offered1:18to collaborate with CMS in good faith to1:20combat fraud while continuing to dispute1:22the allegations. But the state's1:24Medicaid Director testified back in June1:26that CMS had not provided a single1:27instance of fraud, waste, or abuse to1:29justify the action, raising questions1:31about whether the administration has1:33evidence to support its sweeping move.記事を読むストーリーの時系列HeyDexショート動画 ↗
