Trump administration admits data error in New York health care fraud probe

The Trump administration admitted to a significant data error in its justification for a federal fraud probe into New York's Medicaid program. The error involved a vastly inflated number of New Yorkers receiving personal care services, undercutting the administration's claims of waste and prompting questions about other anti-fraud efforts. This admission follows criticism that the administration often attacks first and verifies facts later, and comes amid broader federal crackdowns on state Medicaid programs.
