California Improperly Used Federal Medicaid Dollars to Pay for Illegal Aliens

FAIR Take | June 2024

A new audit conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General (OIG), found that California improperly claimed billions of dollars in federal reimbursements to pay for the health care of illegal aliens enrolled in the state’s Medicaid program.

Whether intentional or accidental, the state must repay the federal government a whopping $52.7 million. It may also be required to pay back money the federal government has given California in previous years.

Medicaid, which pays the health care costs of individuals below a certain income level, is jointly run by the federal government and the states.

States submit a Quarterly Medicaid Statement of Expenditures to claim Federal reimbursement for each quarter. The federal government reimburses states a certain percentage of the total expenditures, which is calculated on multiple criteria designed to determine the share fairly attributable to the state versus the federal government.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Imagine what's happening in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois.
