Walter Curt joins Jenny Beth Martin to unpack the most insulting line in current federal anti-fraud policy: the unwritten threshold under which the Department of Justice will not pursue Medicaid fraud prosecutions.
According to a statement from Vice President JD Vance that Walter cites in this segment, the federal government has been declining to prosecute fraud cases under $1.5 million. That number is not a guardrail. It is an open invitation.
Walter does the math: $10,000 a month in fraudulent billing would transform any American family's life. Bill it from Medicaid and the federal government won't even open a file. Multiply that across hundreds of thousands of providers across all 50 states — and you arrive at the hundreds of billions of dollars Walter believes is being lost to home healthcare and Medicaid fraud every single year.
In this clip:
• The exact threshold the federal government uses to ignore fraud
• Why every $10,000-a-month fraud scheme is effectively legalized
• Why hundreds of billions, if not a trillion dollars a year, is plausible
• How Medicaid fraud is killing the program for the people who actually need it
