WASHINGTON — More than 30,000 Medicaid providers in seven states failed to pay more than $1 billion in federal taxes last year, but the government can't trim health care payments in order to collect, according to a report to be released today.
In its fifth report to a Senate panel investigating tax cheats that do business with the government, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) says that about 5% of Medicaid providers in the seven states cheat on their taxes — particularly payroll taxes collected from employees.
