So each state kind of calls their Medicaid systems or programs a bit different.

California's is called Medi-Cal.

It's the biggest Medicaid in the United States because they have the most amount of people.

So in 2022, they had $108 billion go towards Medi-Cal.

Their enrollment at the time was 3.9 million.

Okay.

And so then now we're in 2026, the proposed budget for Medi-Cal is now $222 million and their enrollment's $40 million.

What?

39.9.

Holy shit.

That's what we're all wondering.

And actually the population of California hasn't gone up exponentially either.

Yes.

And so when I was doing that, making that video, I looked at this and I said, what is going on here?

How is it going from 39.9 enrollments to now 40 million enrollments, yet there's a over...

$100 billion.

And then if you look at the surplus, California at one point was operating in $100 billion surplus before 2020.

Now they're operating in, I believe, around a $20 to $40 billion deficit.

So that's an easy place to point to why they're in such deficit and where all the fraud is.

Yes.
