Every dollar lost to fraud is a dollar diverted from making healthcare more affordable for the patients, families, and vulnerable Americans these programs are meant to serve. Florida's focus on preventing fraud before it happens is the kind of stewardship taxpayers deserve—and exactly why the Trump Administration has taken a whole-of-government approach, which includes working with States to root out waste, fraud, and abuse.
In Florida, we work to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly and that public programs serve the people they are intended to serve. That means holding government accountable and rooting out fraud wherever it exists.
With the Medicaid integrity initiative I announced today, Florida will continue leading the way in protecting taxpayers and rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse.
