I assumed this was going to be about US Senator Rick Scott, because that's who comes to mind when I hear "massive Medicare fraud". But there seems to be a new contender for the title now.
The unfortunate reality is that this doesn't effectively address the issue of providers who offer services but might employ questionable tactics, such as splitting a $250 cash-priced genetic test during pregnancy into a $5,000 insurance claim and a $1,000 coinsurance bill for the patient. When we reported nonsense like this the insurance company doesn’t seem to care at all.
Ah, yes, DOGE accomplished essentially nothing because the President of the United States and the richest man on the planet were too scared to reveal what they found.
DOGE couldn't reveal what they found! ELON couldn't handle it and had to leave! The TRUTH....went deeper than Cigarette Man ever dreamed... The one man who KNEW IT ALL had only one job, to save the world.
Seriously, they could have put the greatest minds in the fucking world to work on this problem, and they basically grabbed a bunch of loyal script kiddies for a few months.
I cannot get over this take. What happened was clear as day.
I'm not sure about the largest claim.
A sitting Senator, Rick Scott, oversaw a larger defrauding of Medicare. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Scott
