Published | Video Starts at 02:35

Number one, rooting out fraud in Medicaid. There's massive fraud, particularly blue states. States like California and New York have really Exploited the Medicaid system, exploited the federal taxpayers.

But secondly, and I think this is another thing we will get done is work requirements. Putting work requirements in place for Medicaid, I think is hugely important because you are not helping people by having them sit at home on the couch. (02:35–02:42)
