The Daily Wire’s Luke Rosiak Blew The Lid Off Billions In Fraud. Now Comes The Reckoning.

The House Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Institutional Abuses will hold its first hearing next week to examine alleged fraud inside Ohio’s Medicaid waiver system, with Daily Wire investigative reporter Luke Rosiak set to testify following his reporting exposing widespread abuse in the program.

The hearing, titled “Universal Basic Fraud: Vulnerabilities in Medicaid Waiver Programs,” was announced Thursday by Task Force Chairman Brandon Gill (R-TX). According to the task force, lawmakers will examine fraud allegations tied to Ohio’s Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services waiver program, which pays providers to assist beneficiaries with household and personal care services.

Recent reporting by The Daily Wire uncovered how state oversight agencies failed to stop shell companies from allegedly operating out of empty offices that billed taxpayers for services that were never performed.

“Our Task Force is going after institutions that stopped fearing accountability and abused the American people,” Gill said in a statement announcing the hearing. He described the Ohio case as “one of the most egregious examples of institutional fraud in this country.”

Gill added that fraudsters “set up shell companies and billed for services never provided” while “the Ohio Medicaid office missed red flags and did little to stop it.”

Alongside Rosiak, witnesses scheduled to testify include Keith Faber and Ohio state Rep. Michael D. Dovilla.

The task force said taxpayers paid more than $2.5 billion for personal care services through Medicaid waiver programs between 2018 and 2024, while estimates place potential fraud in Ohio’s program alone at more than $1.2 billion.

The hearing follows a broader congressional investigation launched earlier this year by House Oversight Chairman James Comer and Gill into Ohio’s Medicaid waiver system. The hearing is set to take place June 3 at 10:00 AM EST.
