If you start adding up all the billions investigators are finding in straight up fraud, we're going to find enough to pay for next year's Federal programs. We won't need to collect any tax revenue for next fiscal year!

I've been saying that for years. Before raising anyone's taxes, clean up the spending. If the Feds cut BS programs and spending and curtailed the theft and fraud they are participating in and allowing, the Feds could actually lower our taxes.

I've seen estimates the federal government could easily reduce its budget by more than 50% by cleaning it up. Too many government employees, too many departments, and just too big. Christ, the support staff of US Congress members exceeds 15,000 people. Totally unnecessary.

Healthcare fraud is rampant. Glad to see this administration doing something about it. I suspect there’s more opportunity in the ABA and Personal Care space.

Health care absolutely sucks .
I have really good insurance and Dr's absolutely try to keep me coming back or going to see a buddy for anything. Modern doctors are set up to rob us .
I work a lot of hrs and travel for work , I have to work to keep insurance. I dont have time for repeat visits. I called to get my yearly physical and blood work this coming week . Instead of sending me for blood work before the visit, its after . Until the last couple years my old dr would get my blood work first then schedule the visit so he could check it over . Now they want me to come back in if there's a problem. They get to charge twice or make us research what they are emailing. WVU medicine absolutely sucks now . Before covid they was great . My dr was awesome and took great care of me and understood my line of work . He left for a small independent office in S. Wv . Probably my last year going to WVU, probably going over to Ohio.

Yea, probably trying to get you for two individual visits. Health systems have gotten incredibly sophisticated on how to maximize revenue. It has only gotten worse as smaller hospitals/groups continue to consolidate with larger systems which has accelerated since COVID. Insurance companies get a bad rap but there’s a lot of bad actors at play throughout the industry.

I don't have that issue. Bloodwork is always first unless there's a change in my health.

Everyone being forced to have health insurance, coupled with taxpayers being forced to foot the bill of illegal aliens' healthcare has benefited big pharma, insurance companies and caused the unnecessary visits.

Obamacare f***ed all of us. The left is f***ing us with illegal aliens and sanctuary cities.

Anyone who thinks insurance companies and healthcare officials aren't raking in loads of cash are brainwashed bleaters.

The left is giving it to us in every orifice of our bodies in the name of power and government dependency.

Socialism/communism.

It used to be you walked into your Doctor's office and the first thing they asked is "what's wrong with you?" Now, the first thing they ask is "what type of insurance do you have?" :rolleyes:
