Trump administration admits error in New York health fraud claims

The Trump administration admitted a significant error in its fraud accusations against New York's Medicaid program. The administration mistakenly claimed New York's program served 5 million people with personal care services, when the actual number was around 450,000. This error stemmed from misinterpreting billing codes. This admission raises questions about the accuracy of other anti-fraud efforts nationwide. New York officials criticized the initial claims as politically motivated.
