Show Notes

Minnesota is under fire for large-scale alleged Medicaid fraud, with over $350 million proven in fraudulent claims out of $18 billion spent on high-risk programs since 2018. It begs the question whether this could be an issue in our state. Here in Connecticut, lawmakers requested an audit in our state about 3 months ago. Did anything come of it? Joining us back on the show is doctor and state Senator, Jeff Gordon, who serves on the Appropriations Committee and is on the lookout for fraud and government misspending in Medicaid and general health care.
