Allison Ball | $800 Million in Medicaid Waste, and Washington Wants More?
Description
Steve Gruber sits down with Kentucky Auditor Allison Ball, whose recent investigation uncovered more than $800 million in wasted Medicaid funds in Kentucky alone, money paid out to people who may not even live in the state anymore. In her new Washington Examiner op-ed, “What the Shutdown Debate Gets Wrong About Medicaid,” Ball exposes the scope of waste and fraud across the system, including one individual found receiving benefits from eight different states at once. While Washington argues over keeping the government shut down, Democrats are pushing to expand Medicaid spending without fixing the problems that already exist. Ball explains why this isn’t just a budgeting issue, it’s a moral one, and why every wasted dollar represents a life or family that truly needs help but isn’t getting it.
