Well, would you look at that? Seems a federal court has rejected Minnesota’s attempt to restart Medicaid funding … almost as if giving a state like Minnesota more money, even when that state has admitted it has a serious fraud problem, is not a good idea.

A federal court rejected Minnesota’s attempt to restart Medicaid funding that the Trump administration had halted over concerns people are stealing the money, with the judge saying even the state has acknowledged it has a “serious fraud problem.”
Judge Eric Tostrud, a Trump appointee, said Minnesota may still prevail later in the case, but for now the feds are on relatively solid legal footing in deferring more than $250 million in Medicaid money to prod the state to combat fraud.
“Though Minnesota credibly complains that the federal government’s deferral is historically unprecedented in its size and timing, I conclude on this record that the deferral likely complies with the controlling federal regulations,” the judge wrote.
Ouch!
Unfortunately, the people of Minnesota are the ones who truly suffer because their state government is unreliable. I wonder if they will finally stop electing Democrats.
Nah. They won’t.
Minnesota is like : Yeah. We have a serious fraud problem so we need federal money.

Wait what? Am I reading this right? Wow… great news! @GovTimWalz allowed fraud to run rampant in his state and it’s high time for some accountability.

Sure would be nice to see some Democrat accountability, but I’ll believe it when I actually see it.
