Trump Administration Seeks to Recover Over $1B in Medicaid Funds
The Trump administration is working to recover over $1 billion in federal Medicaid money that it claims is being used to benefit illegal immigrants in blue states.
According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a preliminary audit found that multiple states were using the funds improperly, primarily during 2024-2025.
- California spent over $1.3 billion in federal Medicaid dollars on healthcare for illegal immigrants.
- Illinois spent around $30 million, the second most among the states in question.
- Other states and districts, including Oregon, Washington, D.C., and Colorado, also improperly used Medicaid funds.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-M.N., said the law prohibits this from happening.
The Trump administration's efforts aim to recover the misused funds and ensure that Medicaid money is used in accordance with the law.
