Contributor: What Would a Serious Anti-Fraud Agenda Actually Look Like?
Since 2022, investigators uncovered $250 million fraud in pandemic nutrition programs and half of $18 billion in Minnesota Medicaid may be fraudulent, with over $1.4 billion recovered in 2024.
- Since 2022, investigators uncovered widespread fraud nationwide, with federal prosecutors saying up to half of the $18 billion spent on 14 Medicaid-funded Minnesota programs since 2018 may be tied to fraud.
- Policy incentives and oversight failures drive fraud, as spending others' money with little consequence collapses accountability; federal matching grants pushed states to build oversized systems, while CMS has not updated fraud risk assessments since 2018.
- Audits show the ACA exchange allowed fictitious coverage, overlapping Social Security numbers, and over $21 billion in unreconciled subsidies; state Medicaid Fraud Control Units reported more than 1,151 convictions and over $1.4 billion in recoveries in 2024.

- Minnesota functions as a national alert as fraud spans housing assistance, autism therapy, Medicare, and SNAP, provoking bipartisan anger and public scrutiny over unchecked fund disbursements.
