Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) was nearly elected to be the country’s next vice president. Lost in that is that his state has become the fraud capital of the United States.

Minnesota’s Department of Health and Human Services is moving to scrap the “Housing Stabilization Services” program, which is funded by Medicaid and the state’s taxpayers, due to widespread fraud. The initial annual cost of the program was expected to be $2.6 million, but it quickly jumped to $21 million. The cost rose every year, with last year costing $104 million and 2025 on pace to surpass $120 million.
