California's Medicaid 'Money Laundering' Scheme Exposed

California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, is facing a $6.2 billion shortfall due to the state's practice of using federal matching funds to fund its own spending, effectively "money laundering" the system. This strategy allows the state to generate significant federal funds, but also creates a moral hazard as it shifts the burden to taxpayers and undermines the program's effectiveness. The low payments made by Medi-Cal to nursing homes result in long waitlists and poor quality care, while affluent applicants opt for private providers that can offer higher rates.
