Dr. Mehmet Oz isn't playing games with California's brazen theft of your taxpayer dollars. The newly minted Trump administration official has frozen $300 million in federal funding after discovering the Golden State allegedly funneled over $1 billion in Medicaid money to provide healthcare for illegal aliens.
This is exactly the kind of America First accountability Patriots voted for in November. While hardworking Americans struggle to afford their own medical bills, California Democrats were secretly using federal Medicaid funds – YOUR money – to provide free healthcare to people who shouldn't even be in this country.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services had already put states on notice back in May about this illegal practice, making it crystal clear that Medicaid funding for illegal immigrants is only allowed for emergency medical services. But did California listen? Of course not.
Deep State Bureaucrats Enablers Get the Boot
Under the Biden regime, this kind of flagrant violation of federal law was ignored – even encouraged. The administrative state turned a blind eye while blue states like California treated the federal treasury like their personal piggy bank for virtue signaling projects.
But there's a new sheriff in town, and Dr. Oz is sending a clear message: the days of sanctuary state slush funds are OVER.
"We are committed to ensuring federal taxpayer dollars are used appropriately and in accordance with federal law," the administration stated, putting every sanctuary jurisdiction on notice.
This is just the beginning, Patriots. The Trump-Vance administration is conducting a full audit of how blue states have been abusing federal healthcare dollars while American citizens get pushed to the back of the line.
California's response? Radio silence. Governor Newsom and his radical Democrat allies know they've been caught red-handed stealing from hardworking Americans to fund their open-borders agenda.
It's time every sanctuary state learns the same lesson: you want to harbor illegal aliens? You pay for it with your own money, not ours. How many more billions have blue states stolen from American taxpayers while we weren't looking?
