Democratic senators call on private firm to reveal how it will profit from Trump’s Medicaid cuts

Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden write to Maximus Inc, largest private contractor to states outsourcing benefits

Two Democratic senators are demanding to know how a company that administers government benefits could profit from Republican-led cuts to Medicaid, the public health insurance program for people who are low-income, elderly and disabled.

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden sent the letter to Maximus, Inc on Monday. The company is the largest private contractor to states who seek to outsource their administration of government assistance, including health insurance and food aid.
