                DEMANDING ANSWERS ON OHIO MEDICAID FRAUD

  (Mr. GILL from Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GILL of Texas. Mr. Speaker, fraudsters are robbing the American 
people.
  In Ohio, hundreds of shell companies, operating out of empty office 
buildings, billed the Federal Government for over $250 million for home 
health services that couldn't even be verified. We believe the full 
scope of this scandal, in fact, reaches into the billions of dollars.
  These are programs that required no medical training, had no 
verification that services were actually provided, and had no spending 
caps, but they enriched fraudsters at the expense of the American 
people.
  That is why Chairman Comer created the Task Force on Defending 
Constitutional Rights and Exposing Institutional Abuses, to go after 
corrupt institutions that steal from taxpayers, abuse our immigration 
system, silence Americans, and bury illegal discrimination. It is my 
honor to lead this task force.
  This week, we sent a letter demanding answers from the Ohio 
Department of Medicaid, and we are going to get them. The era of zero 
consequences is over. We are coming for every single institution that 
thinks otherwise.
