Subject: Medicaid Fraud is Costing Pennsylvanians Billions
Medicaid fraud and abuse have been the subject of many news headlines lately, due to recent events in Minnesota. Pennsylvania is no exception to the misuse of Medicaid.
Medicaid alone consumes roughly one-third of the commonwealth’s budget.
Yet, in 2024, Pennsylvania charged more Medicaid fraud cases than any other state. The Pennsylvania Attorney General reports $11.3 million in Medicaid fraud recoveries and $44 million in fraudulent charges.
But that’s not all. The most recent comprehensive audit of Pennsylvania revealed $2.3 billion in improper Medicaid payments.
These are YOUR taxpayer dollars. We must stop the fraudulent overspending before it is too late.
You deserve to have a say in how your taxpayer dollars are being spent. If you don’t want them to go to fraud, sign this petition today!
