Medicaid fraud is draining hundreds of billions of dollars from American taxpayers, and the federal government has been looking the other way for years. On this episode of The Jenny Beth Show, investigative journalist Walter Curt joins Jenny Beth Martin to expose how a massive Medicaid home healthcare expansion has been quietly funneling billions of dollars to fraudulent providers — including a Michigan building that billed $2.4 million from a demolished, asbestos-filled structure where no business has operated for years.
Walter Curt is a senior fellow at Restoration of America and the founder of WC Dispatch, and he broke this story open by analyzing the 229-million-row Medicaid spending dataset released by DOGE through HHS. His investigation found that 21 of 600 Michigan businesses he sampled were dissolved entities still billing Medicaid — collectively pulling in $118 million, including a dentist office dissolved in 2004 that has been billing over a million dollars a year for autism treatment.
Jenny Beth and Walter break down where the money is really going, why blue states show the highest spending and the fewest prosecutions, why Vice President JD Vance's $1.5 million prosecution threshold is an insult to every taxpayer, and why Elon Musk's claim that DOGE could save a trillion dollars a year was right all along.
