I commend the governors and state legislators driving meaningful reform through SNAP waivers to ensure American families have access to real, nutritious food.

Well said…

Mike Stuart continues to serve as HHS General Counsel pending his appointment to a position in the administration where he will continue to focus on fighting fraud for hardworking taxpayers.

[HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart @HHSGCMikeStuart]

In 2024, @HHS provided nearly $400 million in grants to states to investigate and prosecute Medicaid fraud. Those grants typically cover 75% of a state’s Medicaid Fraud unit.

In 2024, in 23 states we gave more in grants for a Medicaid fraud unit than we collected in Medicaid fraud. A LOT MORE! For instance, Illinois received nearly $6.7 million for its Medicaid fraud unit and it collected only $1.861 million. Maine received nearly $1.85 million, and it collected a paltry more than $236k. A TERRIBLE investment especially given the tremendous level of fraud.

Too many states are taking the money and doing almost nothing to identify and prosecute Medicaid fraud. This @HHSGov and this @HHSOGC isn’t going to tolerate these numbers. Protecting taxpayers and intended Medicaid recipients is too important.

[HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart @HHSGCMikeStuart]

Healthcare system after healthcare system is changing course and stopping sex-rejecting procedures and gender mutilation of our children.

The @ASPS_News and AMA have made strong statements on this critical issue. The evidence is clear- sex rejecting procedures for children are not acceptable standards of healthcare.

In just the past few weeks, more than 40 hospital systems across the country have made the right decision to stop these heinous procedures. But there is far more work to do to protect our children.

Today, unfortunately, I made additional referrals for investigation to @OIGatHHS. These referrals are not for hospitals but, rather, for federally qualified health centers (FQHCs).

@HHSOGC referred for investigation the following FQHCs:

Whitman-Walker Health, Washington D.C.;

Community Health Project, Inc. (aka Callen-Lorde), Bronx, Brooklyn and New York, NY;

Los Angeles LGBT Center, Los Angeles, CA; and

The Institute for Family Health, Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn and Mid-Hudson Valley, NY.

@SecKennedy, @HHSGov, and legitimate medical professionals from across the nation have been exceedingly clear on this issue. Sex-rejecting procedures are not acceptable forms of healthcare.

@HHSGov, @SecKennedy, and @HHSOGC will continue to take all necessary actions to protect our children from life-altering, damaging and fake healthcare treatments.

[HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart @HHSGCMikeStuart]

An honor to do my first CNBC appearance. Important issue.

President Trump, @SecKennedy, and @HHSGov are committed to the historic challenge of creating an affordable, transparent, Gold Standard science-based healthcare system.

[HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart @HHSGCMikeStuart]

Based on a review of the applicable facts, earlier today @HHSOGC referred Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (“Hims”) to the Department of Justice for investigation for potential violations by Hims of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and applicable Title 18 provisions.

[HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart @HHSGCMikeStuart]

Rob Bonita may be the worst AG in America. Rather than fighting to allow child mutilation, why isn’t he defending our children? Has Bonita done anything to stop all the California healthcare fraud? No worries. ⁦@HHSGov⁩ is soon on our way to help! https://t.co/q3VxhujYDq

[HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart @HHSGCMikeStuart]

It is time for Johns Hopkins to end the terrible practice of sex-rejecting procedures for minors and join the dozens of other hospital systems across the country that have stopped these horrific procedures over the past few weeks. https://t.co/ESscRUUs0x

[HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart @HHSGCMikeStuart]

Almost daily, another major hospital system is ending the tragic and irreversible practice of sex-rejecting procedures for minors. ⁦@ASPS_News⁩ is bravely standing with ⁦@HHSGov⁩ & @SecKennedy⁩ in courageously leading on this critical issue https://t.co/HiDiSrQu2J

[HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart @HHSGCMikeStuart]

Rack up another victory for our children!

Hospital system after hospital system nationwide are stopping devastating gender-rejecting treatments. @SecKennedy, @HHSGov, and @hhsogc will continue fighting for our children until every single hospital system stops these horrific procedures.

[HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart @HHSGCMikeStuart]

Today, I sadly made another major referral for investigation to @OIGatHHS- Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System including, but not limited to, the Johns Hopkins Center for Transgender and Gender Expansive Health and the Johns Hopkins Emerge Gender and Sexuality Clinic- for failing to meet recognized standards of healthcare.

Over recent weeks, more than 30 hospitals and hospital systems including some of the largest in the nation have announced they are no longer performing sex-mutilating and sex-rejecting procedures for minors.  Those hospital systems are to be commended for making the right decision after making irreversible terrible decisions that harmed and permanently damaged children.  Sadly, other hospitals and hospital systems are continuing to perform heinous and horrific acts of intentional permanent harm to minors including, allegedly, Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System. We will not stop until every single child is protected from the destruction of the integrity of God’s chosen human body.

@SecKennedy’s declaration made clear that sex-rejecting procedures for children and adolescents are not safe and not effective.  Far from it.  Sex-rejecting procedures are incredibly damaging and contrary to acceptable standards of healthcare.  @HHSGov, @SecKennedy, and @HHSOGC will continue to take all necessary actions to protect our children from “sea to shining sea.” Our children deserve it.

[HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart @HHSGCMikeStuart]

The fake sell of “gender affirming care” will soon be remembered as a Dark Age for American healthcare. Drilling a hole in your head in response to a headache now seems ludicrous but, there was a time, it was common practice. “Gender-rejecting” procedures for children are just as ludicrous and tragically damaging for a lifetime. @HHSGov, @SecKennedy and our entire team will always do all we can to protect our children and everything in our power to advance legitimate healthcare for all Americans.

[Katie Miller @KatieMiller]

“Gender affirming care” will go down in history as one of the worst medical atrocities ever.

[HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart @HHSGCMikeStuart]

Stephen Miller is 100% correct. If you love this country and believe in the perpetuation of the greatest nation in the history of mankind, step forward in service to the nation. It is the time for Patriots everywhere to serve. NOW is the time!

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

If you want to combat fraud, crime and illegal immigration, reach out. Patriots needed.

[HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart @HHSGCMikeStuart]

Have to say it! Where are the snow plows? Tens of thousands of HHS employees trying to get to work but snow removal seems an impossible task in DC- days after the snow event happened. Roads, sidewalks and crosswalks- why is this so hard?

[Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill @HHS_Jim]

Great work protecting children by @HHSGCMikeStuart @HHSOGC

[HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart @HHSGCMikeStuart]

Proud of @HHSOGC’s work to save and protect our children from the irreversible devastating trauma of sex-rejecting procedures. The investigations are sadly not done. @HHSGov and @SecKennedy will not stop until every child is safe and every hospital and doctor prioritizes “do no harm.” The focus is clear- protect and nuture- not alter and butcher- our children.

[Katie Miller @KatieMiller]

30 hospitals across the United States have stopped permanently altering children before their brains have even developed.

This is now Los Angeles and Chicago this week.

Protect our children, no more hormones or surgeries.

[HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart @HHSGCMikeStuart]

No Vice President in history has been so focused, strong and effective. “More families and more babies…” All our children are a blessing. They enrich our lives. Congratulations to Vice President Vance and Usha Vance on the wonderful news of their growing family.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

"The March For Life, my friends, is not about just a political issue... it is about whether we will remain a civilization under God, or whether we will ultimately return to the paganism that dominated the past." - @VP JD Vance 🇺🇸

[HHS General Counsel Mike Stuart @HHSGCMikeStuart]

We have moved beyond defense; we are now on offense.  This is the largest, most aggressive pursuit of fraudsters ever orchestrated by this department. The message by @HHSGov, @SecKennedy and @hhsogc to those exploiting the system is clear: there is no corner of the healthcare or childcare system where you can hide. With an expanded force of seasoned federal prosecutors, we are hunting down every lead to ensure your next destination is a federal prison cell. My message to fraudsters and schemers? Lawyer up!
