Assessing Medicaid Coverage Losses Under House Reconciliation Bill
Republicans say that able-bodied adults who don’t work would lose Medicaid coverage under the House tax-cuts-and-spending bill, while Democrats say the legislation would hurt vulnerable groups.
The bill’s main target is those able-bodied adults, but other groups would lose coverage due to paperwork burdens and other provisions in the bill, health policy experts say.
If the Republican Party was actually serious about fraud, they would go those who actually commit them, the entities/institutions that send in the claims which imclude tests that were never performed.
The massive Medicare fraud is not done by individuals.
TRANSPARENCY: UnitedHealth Group is facing investigations and lawsuits for Medicare fraud. Among other things, it includes adding extra diagnoses to patients' charts to trigger extra payments to the company, and secretly paying nursing homes to reduce hospital transfers. After CEO Brian Thompson was killed, the company started issuing fewer denials, which cut into investors' profits, so investors are also suing them for not denying enough claims.
DOGE was supposed to find billions of dollars of Medicare fraud. UnitedHealth Group's Medicare fraud lawsuit alone alleges several billion dollars of fraud. Why didn't DOGE find that?
