The Trump administration is taking new steps to eliminate fraud in federal health programs, including a $1. 3 billion deferral in Medicaid funding to California.
Vice President JD Vance announced the initiative Wednesday amid the administration's effort to impose a six-month freeze on some new Medicare enrollments, while admonishing states to probe Medicaid fraud or risk losing funding, officials told the Associated Press.
