A new CMS audit under Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz has exposed Colorado as the 5th-worst state for illegally funneling Medicaid dollars to non-emergency healthcare for illegal immigrants. This bombshell comes from just a three-month review as part of a nationwide crackdown that already flagged $1.8 billion in misused funds across eight states. The Trump administration is now withholding hundreds of millions from the worst offenders (starting with California) until they prove federal taxpayer money wasn’t spent on people who aren’t here legally.
This is exactly why Americans are fed up with the radical left’s open-border insanity. While Colorado Democrats bend over backward to roll out the red carpet for illegals — free healthcare, sanctuary policies, and zero accountability — our veterans wait months for VA appointments, seniors struggle with rising Medicare costs, and working families foot the bill through skyrocketing taxes and insurance premiums.
Medicaid was never meant to be a global welfare program. It belongs to American citizens, full stop. The fact that Colorado cracked the top five in this fraud after just 90 days of scrutiny proves what conservatives have been saying for years: sanctuary states aren’t compassionate — they’re complicit in a deliberate transfer of wealth from legal residents to lawbreakers.
Thank God we finally have a Trump administration and leaders like Dr. Oz who are actually enforcing the law instead of looking the other way. Withholding funds is a great first step, but it’s time to go further: full forensic audits in every blue state, claw back every misused dollar, and tie future federal funding to ironclad proof that not one cent goes to illegals.
America First means putting our own people first. If Colorado’s liberal elites want to play sugar daddy to illegal immigrants, let them do it with their own state tax dollars — not ours. Enough is enough. Deportations, border security, and accountability aren’t “extreme” — they’re common sense. Time to make every rogue state feel the pain at the ballot box and in the budget. 🇺🇸
