Feds Decertify Hawaii for Medicaid Funding Over Failure to Address Fraud

Federal authorities have decertified Hawaii as eligible to receive Medicaid funding because the Democrat-run state government refuses to provide proper resources to address fraud.

Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson made the bombshell announcement on Thursday as part of a series of administration fraud crackdown revelations. “The Trump administration is going to take seriously the obligation that you have an effective Medicaid fraud control unit in your state. Everyone is being out noticed and today, Hawaii is being decertified for abject failure to enforce state and federal law to prohibit fraud in Hawaii,” Ferguson said.

He continued, “The reason this is important is because one of the requirements for getting Medicaid money for your state is to have an effective Medicaid fraud control unit. And if you don't have one, it can jeopardize the state’s access to Medicaid money generally.”
...
Since Ferguson specifically called out Hawaii, it is worth noting that one of the fraud cases the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) highlighted recently was regarding a former Hawaiian official who bartered off housing contracts to people who never built the required housing, all in exchange for kickbacks. While this was not a healthcare case, it is part of the comprehensive federal investigation into fraud.

Well this should have Dems and Dem-shill MSM folk birthing hissing, spitting, yowling devil-kittens.

General Discussion / Dr. Jill to Biden’s Baghdad Bob: COME AT ME BRO

Dr. Jill to Biden’s Baghdad Bob: COME AT ME BRO

No one would describe (Andrew) Bates as bound in Lazarushian leather, but he faced his fair share of rhetorical bullets for four years while fronting the Biden Regency’s fraud on the American electorate. Bates helped lead the Sharp As a Tack™ offensive, insisted that Joe was hale, hearty, and energetic despite all evidence to the contrary, and kept reporters benighted with tales of cheap fakes when any of them bothered to ask about video evidence of his decline emerged. Bates even did extra duty carrying water for Hunter Biden's art career.

Now that the Biden Regency has ended, though, Bates has the temerity to, er, speak for himself on the wisdom of dragging all of this back into the headlines. That’s especially true given the timing, as Democrats hope to make big gains in the midterms. ...

Dr. Jill, however, does not appreciate hearing from the help. She made that clear in a DC synagogue, which hosted an event to promote her new book. When asked about Bates' remarks about timing, Jill Biden accused Bates of being a coward:
...
Axios' Alex Thompson collected on-the-record reactions from the Biden and Obama team members, and they're equally disgusted by Jill's ingratitude – not to mention the book:

Quote
Former Biden spokesperson @Rodericka goes on the record: “Why are we rehashing years-old scores and clinging to relevancy to sell books about palace intrigue within a wing that doesn’t even exist anymore? Focusing on this instead of the bleak reality Americans have been experiencing in the same time frame is exactly why we lost in 24.”

Another former Biden WH staffer tells me: “The former First Lady would still be known as the former Second Lady without Andrew Bates.”

Mediaite collects a couple of more statements from social media:

Quote
Rob Flaherty, who served as deputy campaign manager for Biden’s 2024 reelection effort, posted on X: “Just a whole lot I could say about this but I will leave it at being so, unbelievably disappointed.”

Former Obama aide and Pod Save America co-host Tommy Vietor also defended Bates, writing: “No one was more loyal to the Biden family and fought harder for them than @AndrewBatesNC. Sh*tty to see that that loyalty was a one-way street.”

I'm not sure that being Spokesmuffin-in-Chief for the "Sharp As a Tack™ offensive" is a great resume' item for a dude who isn't yet 40.

When I look into candidates for offices on my ballot, I don't look for character-references, months old or decades old. I look at their policies on their campaign websites and in public statements. There have been occasions, including Tuesday's primary, where I declined to vote for any of an office's candidates.

They think Biden is such a great person, and yet look how quickly the party has turned against him for the 2024 election results.

Democrats truly are mercenary.

Biggest reason they like Biden is that the corrupt, pedophile bastard was so morally bankrupt, he makes them look like paragons of virtue by comparison.

Moral relativism is a central, defining characteristic of all Dim'Rats - and especially DUmp'rats.  :popcorn:

The mental gymnastics of insisting that LIEden was totally fit mentally, then saying he was not and should have dropped out earlier, then blaming him for Kammie's defeat, then trying to make him a sympathetic figure is more than I could do. Pretzellating reality is not among my skills, and I've avoided learning that skill as best I could.

They're basing that off the word of people who knew him in school?!

Democrats pull the "nice person" act constantly, and their voters fall for it every time.

James Talarico really is a good person.

I was just talking to a friend here in Austin,
whose kids went to school with James.

She says they all love him. He's the genuine
article.
