Mike DeWine\u2019s office pushed back on the billionaire\u2019s assertion, claiming the state has \u201cextensive oversight mechanisms in place\u201d to root out fraud. <span class=\"credit\">CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The term-limited governor\u2019s office cited additional existing measures to root out would-be scammers, including \u201cinternal agency efforts to fight waste, fraud and abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to the outlet, the Ohio Department of Medicaid acknowledged the concerns the article raised, particularly in Franklin County, and said it has been \u201cactively investigating these matters\u201d even before the report was published.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUpon initial review, some of the entities mentioned in the series are no longer Ohio Medicaid providers or have not billed Medicaid in several years. Some other providers are subject to ongoing investigation,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy chalked up the alleged rampant fraud as \u201cdownstream policies\u201d of open borders and an \u201covergrown federal welfare state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a big problem,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t fix the past. We can fix the future, and one of the things that I intend to do is to just take a dispassionate look at this,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just responding to one news story or another as a game of whack-a-mole. The way I look at this is this is more of a broken-windows theory, which means that, if you have a broken window somewhere, it\u2019s a reminder that we have to take a systematic look at the whole thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
