Newsom blasts Trump over $1B Medicaid funding halt
TL;DR Summary
CMS is deferring more than $1 billion in federal Medicaid payments to California and Minnesota while it reviews high‑risk claims for possible fraud. Newsom labels the move political and asks for proof, pointing to alleged data requests already answered and tying the action to attacks on Xavier Becerra. The deferrals amount to about $867 million for California and $200 million for Minnesota, with California’s in‑home services spending rising 24% over two federal years (versus an 12% national average).
