Vice President JD Vance deflected when asked about a “joint ticket” with Rubio in 2028.
Vance on Wednesdayannouncedthat the federal government is deferring $1.3 billion dollars in Medicaid reimbursements to California.
Vance was joined by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz.
“We’re announcing that the federal government is deferring $1.3 billion in Medicaid reimbursements from the state of California,” Vance said.
“And the simple reason is because the state of California has not taken fraud very seriously,” he said.
“We believe that at least half of the hospices in the entire area around Los Angeles are fraudulent,” Dr. Oz said later in the press conference.
“Today, we announce 800 of those hospices have been suspended. 800 hospices that last year charged the federal taxpayer $1.4 billion will no longer be paid,” Dr. Oz added.
After the press conference, Vance took questions from reporters.
One reporter asked Vance about a “joint ticket” with Rubio in 2028.
“What I think of… um, there are a few topics that I want to talk about less than what office I’m going to run for years down the road when I’m having a good time and trying to do good work in the job that the American people already elected me to do,” Vance said.
