I am not in the least bit surprised. As a provider, I can tell you that Medicare and Medicaid have long been a festering heap of corruption. $100 billion. That’s “Billion,” with a “B.”
That is a ton of tax dollars! Just think of how much less you would be paying if you were only paying for truly legitimate things. And remember, that’s just the fraud. So real medical expenses are not even counted.
Under President Trump’s newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk and his team have identified a staggering $100 billion in wasteful spending buried within the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
