Minnesota’s Medicaid autism program is a textbook case of bureaucratic failure. What started as a $1.2M initiative exploded into a $228M swamp of fraud—85 centers under investigation for billing services never rendered, with one clinic alone stealing $20M. This isn’t about funding needs; it’s about systemic rot.

DHS paid $700M over a decade while oversight collapsed, letting providers exploit loopholes for fake claims. Now they’re scrambling with “compliance visits” after the damage is done.

Real solution? Slash the bloat, enforce eligibility checks, and prioritize taxpayer-funded care for citizens—not grifters gaming the system. Medicaid’s $55B annual waste proves D.C. can’t manage a lemonade stand.
