Ohio Medicaid Fraud - The Exploding Story

Ohio Medicaid Fraud - The Exploding Story

We told you back in February that this story of the fraud problem was a ticking time bomb, well the bomb has gone off. In late December/early January, Columbus officials scrambled to get out in front of the childcare fraud in Ohio. Nick Shirley’s reports out of Minnesota gave detailed information on the Somalian fraud of greater Minneapolis. Eyes quickly turned to Ohio, with the second largest Somalian population in America. John Solomon of Just the News reported on the federal records that $136 million in paper cash trafficked through John Glenn International Airport in the year 2023 alone from the Somalian community of Columbus to the Somalian community of Minneapolis. It was packaged with millions more from the Somalian community in greater Minneapolis, a total of $700 million, and sent to Mogadishu, Somalia in North Africa and to the terrorist group Al-Shabaab. With these reports, state legislators began scrambling to obtain more information from the DeWine Administration from the Department of Children and Youth and the Department of Medicaid. Here to join me is Pastor Bob Hess to discuss the update on the breaking news from Minneapolis from the Assistant U.S. Attorney General Colin McDonald that fifteen people were indicted with a Medicaid fraud scheme totally $90 million. Mr. McDonald was joined by HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr., and Dr. Oz. Mr. McDonald announced that this is just the beginning. It has been reported that Vice President JD Vance will be in Ohio the first week of June to make a major announcement on the fraud investigations in Ohio.
