🛡️ Florida leads the way in fighting Medicaid fraud!
@GovRonDeSantis announced today that AHCA will be launching a pilot program in partnership with SentiLink to enhance fraud detection and safeguard Medicaid integrity. AHCA Secretary @SHarrisFL made clear that "our state is closed for fraud." This innovative approach will help Florida proactively prevent fraud, protect recipients, and ensure quality healthcare for those who need it most.

When someone goes to the state for welfare assistance, the individual’s needs are put into the CarePortal, which sends out the information to all the organizations — religious, charitable, business — that are participants in Hope Florida.
These organizations (that are all exterior to government) can then respond to the needs. This both saves taxpayer dollars and provides much better help. Many of the people who have been served have eliminated their need for government assistance entirely.
This is what leadership looks like.
@GovRonDeSantis and @CaseyDeSantis identified a problem and brought people together to solve it—not by growing government, but by empowering communities, churches, nonprofits, and the private sector.
Florida continues to lead the way on welfare reform, building a model for the nation that can sustain these successes far beyond government programs.
The new initiative announced at the pastors forum will help supercharge the use of CarePortal, which has already served more than 72,000 Floridians.
Now, with the Florida Chamber underwriting the costs, more and more churches will be able to join the cause.
By linking those in need to resources exterior to government, CarePortal is the central node of Hope Florida and a big reason why tens of thousands have eliminated or reduced their need for public assistance.
Lifting people up requires more than a check from the government; it requires inspiration, faith and hope!

Grateful for the leadership of @GovRonDeSantis and @CaseyDeSantis in continuing to engage Florida’s faith community and setting the national standard for serving those in need.
Today, @CaseyDeSantis and I enjoyed speaking with faith leaders from across our state at the Helping Our Pastors Engage (HOPE) training event in Orlando.
Churches and faith-based organizations have always played a crucial role in supporting the most vulnerable, especially children and families in need. In partnership with CarePortal and the Hope Florida initiative, HOPE is expanding opportunities for faith leaders and congregations to help Floridians in their own communities break the cycle of government dependency.
Today in Tampa, I outlined the Save Our Homes from Excessive Property Taxes plan that will eliminate taxes on homesteads.
Property tax revenue collected by local governments has nearly doubled in the past seven years (from $32 billion to $60 billion) and is expected to reach an astounding $83 billion by 2032.
Florida homeowners need relief. Now is the time to stand up for taxpayers, enact a historic reform, and save the home of every Floridian.
Smartphones are not good for children. Banning them in the classroom was the right thing to do, which we did years ago when it was much more controversial to do so.
Nobody was more consequential in establishing our nation than George Washington. Today in Chipley, I was proud to unveil a new statue of Washington in the Florida county that bears his name.
We honor Washington as the embodiment of civic virtue, and we will continue working to ensure that future generations embrace America’s founding principles.
Florida, it’s time to make lasting changes! Let’s continue to be the beacon for other states to follow.
Parents deserve the sacred space to listen, to discern, and to choose what is best for their children without fear, pressure or coercion. Florida’s medical freedom bill reflects something deeper than policy…it reflects trust in families, in conscience, and in the God-given intuition we each carry within.
With @GovRonDeSantis calling on the FL legislature to hear the medical freedom bill next week, Florida has the chance to lead with courage and light the way for other states.
I stand in full support. Let’s protect parental rights and prioritize wellness for all! 🙏
