Interesting facts medicare/caid Florida compared to California

The average age of Floridians is about 5 years higher than Cali.

The population of Cali population is about 50% more.

Florida spends more per person on Medicare than any state, more than likely because of the age difference.

Given the aforementioned you would expect total cost to be about 50% more right?

Florida spends about 35 billion on medicare both fed and state. So Cali should be a little over 50 billion........it is 146 billion and rising by 10% a year.

Where is the 100billion going?

Florida, even with the older population has 17% of medicare, and the "4th richest country in the world" has 38% on medicare.

Cali has a provider tax where they just tax providers 274 dollars per month for medicare claims, and keeps the half the feds reimburse. Congress outlawed this theft in the BBB and Cali put it in their budget again 13.5 billion....no doubt to blame Trump when he cuts off care, when it is outright theft

So close to 100 billion in medicare fraud.

Now throw in 111 billion for the rail to nowhere, 24 billion on homeless, 9 billion small business loan fraud, 25 billion in unemployment insurance fraud.
