Ron DeSantis Found the Right Way to Fight Medicaid Fraud and It’s A Model For Every Other State

Every other state dealing with Medicaid fraud is doing it the lazy way: across-the-board rate cuts that punish legitimate providers along with the fraudsters.

That’s not fraud enforcement. That’s budget balancing dressed up as reform — and the families paying the price have every right to be furious.
