A projection that the Medicare trust fund could become insolvent in seven years, with payments potentially cut by 11%, asked Oz what the administration’s plan was. Oz said the trust fund "will last twice as long" if Medicare fraud is eliminated and claimed CMS cut $42 billion in Medicare fraud during the previous year.
I would like to ask WHY hasn't anyone went after fraud before now?
It seems that the easy thing is to just keep raising taxes and allow fraud to continue.

I was forced onto Medicare a couple years ago. Due to my wife and I still working full time we
pay approximately 500.00 more each per month than we did with our private insurance.
I think many people believe Medicare means FREE medical.

Republicans are building a legislative case that waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid demand structural program changes.
Republicans argue fraud is systemic. Rep. Diana Harshbarger contends eliminating waste is necessary to "save Medicaid from collapse." Chairman Gary Palmer spent 26 hours in a markup session on healthcare fraud legislation. Federal watchdog investigations found that 90% of undercover ACA marketplace applicants with fraudulent documentation were approved.
Democrats counter that fraud claims are being weaponized to justify unpopular benefit cuts. The hearing will shape potential legislation affecting millions of beneficiaries and billions in federal spending.
Rep. Diana DeGette cites data showing Medicaid beneficiary fraud is less than 0.1%. She warns that Republican claims of saving $880 billion through fraud elimination would require massive benefit reductions.
