RFK Jr. Says Biden Administration Paid Fraudulent Medicare and Medicaid Claims

2d ago · 0:33

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says the Trump administration is changing how the federal government handles suspected Medicare and Medicaid fraud. Kennedy criticized the previous approach, arguing that federal health agencies sometimes issued payments even when fraud was suspected and attempted to recover the money afterward. He said that system failed to protect taxpayers because fraudulent payments were often difficult to recover once the funds had been distributed. According to Kennedy, the administration's new approach is to verify that Medicare and Medicaid payments are lawful and appropriate before taxpayer dollars are sent, with the goal of reducing fraud and strengthening oversight of federal healthcare spending. #RFKJr #HHS #Medicaid #Medicare #Fraud #Taxpayer #GovernmentSpending #Healthcare #BreakingNews #News #TrumpAdministration #WasteFraudAbuse #FederalSpending #HealthPolicy #Accountability
