Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Thursday that he is working with Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to cut the waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid.
“We think we’re going to be able to identify it and eliminate it while, incidentally, protecting the Medicaid—while protecting the Medicaid program and improving services to our poorest Americans,” RFK Jr. told Fox’s Martha MacCallum on Thursday following a high-stakes Cabinet meeting.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, during the meeting, Kennedy announced that the federal government will identify the root cause of America’s spiraling autism crisis by September, following an unprecedented research initiative ordered by President Donald Trump.
He later revealed to MaCaullum, “We have DOGE working with us, and they’ve been really extraordinary about finding fraud in all of the agencies.”
This comes as Democrats and Republicans spar over the budget resolution that passed in the House earlier Thursday. Democrats in the House accused Republicans of trying to cut Medicaid benefits, which House Speaker Mike Johnson says is a “lie,” pointing to the roughly $50 billion lost each year to Medicaid fraud.
Last week, it was revealed by a DOGE official that illegal aliens and even violent illegal aliens are accessing government benefits like Medicaid and also voting.
“We found in the benefit programs that every benefit program that was being accessed by these people, DOGE executive and founder of Valor Equity Partners, Antonio Gracias, said. “1.3 million of them are on Medicaid right now, today.”
