Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has pledged to aggressively investigate and prosecute Medicaid fraud after a report alleged millions in taxpayer dollars were billed from vacant offices. The Daily Wire reported that 288 home healthcare companies were listed at the same addresses, including locations that appeared vacant or in disrepair. Ramaswamy told 'Saturday in America' host Kayleigh McEnany that any instance of waste, fraud, or abuse 'deserves to be prosecuted' and that his administration would investigate and prosecute aggressively to deter fraud. Republican Gov. Mike DeWine's office disputed the claims, stating that Ohio has extensive oversight mechanisms in place, including electronic visit verification, audits, and background checks. The Ohio Department of Medicaid confirmed it is actively investigating the concerns in Franklin County, where Columbus is located.
