Vance issues Medicaid fraud ultimatum

Vice President JD Vance has delivered a stark ultimatum to states, threatening to withhold federal Medicaid funding if they fail to comply with new anti-fraud mandates.

During a visit to Maine, Vance accused several Democratic-led states of being soft on 'widespread fraud' within government aid programs.

The administration's aggressive new stance has prompted fears among advocates that vulnerable families caring for disabled relatives could lose essential support.

This move is part of a broader Trump administration push to overhaul the welfare system ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
