JD Vance is threatening to withhold 1.3 billion in Medicaide payments to California because he believes, no proof offered, the state doesn't do enough to eliminate fraud, which he's offered no proof of. This is money Californians have paid in their taxes to receive a service that is essential to their staying the fuck alive and healthy.
This is also the same administration that is giving 10 billion dollars of our tax money to Trump in one of the biggest examples of federal fraud ever witnessed. If Vance is the fraud czar, WTF isn't he watching that shit? Because he is in on it, obviously.
Fuck these people. That's our money.

(2,031 posts)This whole IRS Leak story stinks at so many levels..
-- the leak happened during Trump's first term
-- every President not named Trump voluntarily revealed this information
-- by claiming his personal information was leaked Trump was able to play the victim which obscured legitimate questions about his finances
-- now with the help of the GOP Congress and his own DOJ - Trump will steal $10 Billion dollars 💵 from Treasury in broad daylight
Trump is putting third world leaders to shame with such bold and brazen corruption.

(19,477 posts)... to a privatized contractor to help with the work load - at a company called Booz, Allen, and Hamilton ?
Didn't an employee at Booz, A, H. release the Trump tax files the the media ?
Why isn't this privatized contractor responsible for this "Privacy Breach" of the djt & LLC tax info,... and then fully responsible for the $2 billion dollar settlement for having caused this ?
Booz, Allen, & Hamilton is a big corporation with billions upon billions in governmental contracts. Let them pick up the tab.
Presidents have been releasing their tax returns for public scrutiny and review since Nixon. But trDUMP thinks he is too much a big shit big shot for any kind of oversight review.
Even though he promised these yearly tax returns once his ongoing IRS audit concluded. That was a prevaricating lie he told the public with all the other fucking lies that comes out of his mouth on a daily basis.

No future president would respect such a deal unless they're a member of the mafia.

I called Anthem Blue Cross and they told me I had to contact the local Office.
I've been calling every number I can find and all I get is a recording that just repeats over and over. Nobody ever picks up, eventually the call just hangs up on me.

(39 posts)This administration is led by a 34-time convicted fraudster, and there is more corruption in it than any other administration in American history. It's also blatantly obvious by this administration targeting a blue state rather than a red state with a high incidence of Medicare fraud, that it's politically motivated. This announcement was accompanied by a 6 month moratorium on new enrollment in Medicare for hospice care. If you've had a loved one in hospice, you know the invaluable care they provide. They have much wider latitude in dispensing pain medications than most doctors. Physicians are continuously monitored by the DEA which tracks prescribing habits to prevent the misuse of prescription medications. Most doctors are reluctant, or limited by the facility or practice in which they work, in prescribing painkillers or opioids, lest they attract the attention of the DEA. As hospice is, by definition, end-of-life care for a short period of time, they are allowed to give their patients drugs like morphine and fentanyl if needed to ease the agonizing pain of terminal illness. However, if a person is recently diagnosed as terminal and newly enrolled in Medicare, they'd be denied the pain relief hospice could provide. If even one American has to die in preventable pain as a result of this moratorium, it's one American too many.
