So
@RepScottPerry I was disturbed by your incorrect info re
#Medicaid so did some reading. You’re conflating Medicaid & Medicare data. Unsure if intentional vs. lack of understanding but it’s impt to give accurate info. Read for yourself

NOTE ON MEDICAID:📍Improper Medicaid payments could amount to $1.3T over 10 years.
We need major improvements to the Medicaid program to stop the waste, fraud, and abuse - or it’s not going to survive to help anyone.
— The federal govt pays roughly $2 out of every $3 in Medicaid spending, but it’s run by state govt’s that lack any “incentive” to protect Taxpayer dollars.
— The Biden Administration even added rules to restrict states from cleaning up their rolls and verifying eligibility.
— If we can incentivize states to verify eligibility, and issue payments to protect people in poverty, pregnant women, the disabled, and children (the intent of Medicaid to begin with) WE WILL SAVE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
