Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) announced his House Oversight Committee task force is launching a full investigation into a massive Ohio Medicaid fraud operation.“Hundreds of millions of dollars of your tax money is being wasted in an Ohio Medicaid scheme that we’re uncovering on the House Oversight Committee,” Gill said. “We believe this scheme stretches into the billions of dollars.”“The Ohio Medicaid Agency had years to figure this out. A reporter did it in just a couple months, and we’re building on their work,” he added.Gill continued: “We’re saving you taxpayer dollars, and we’re ending fraud on my task force at the House Oversight Committee.”“Fraudsters stole hundreds of millions of your tax dollars through an Ohio Medicaid scandal. My GOP Oversight Task Force is pulling this scheme apart piece by piece,” Gill stated.Gill, who chairs the new Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Institutional Abuses, revealed that billions are likely being laundered through shell companies acting as intermediaries to funnel payments to organizations not providing actual health care. State audits show extreme concentrations of spending in Franklin County and massive eligibility error rates.
