Billions More In Suspected Medicaid Fraud Discovered During Walz Administration

The CMS administrator highlighted two Minnesota Medicaid programs launched in recent years that saw explosive cost growth.

According to Oz, the Housing Stabilization Services program — initially projected to cost $2.6 million a year — paid out more than $100 million in 2024.

He also said the Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention program ballooned from $3 million in 2018 to nearly $400 million in 2023.

“These scammers used stolen taxpayer money to buy flashy cars, purchase overseas real estate and offer kickbacks to parents who enrolled their kids at fake autism treatment centers,” Oz said. “Some of it may have even made its way to the Somalian terrorist group al-Shabab. … So why didn’t Walz stop them? That’s simple: because he went all-in on identity politics.”
