PJM-
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a Democratic presidential candidate, predicted that the current level of Medicare fraud will “go significantly down” under his Medicare for all proposal.
In fiscal year 2017, fraud reportedly cost the Medicare program more than $36 billion in improper payments. Improper payments totaled almost $50 billion last fiscal year.
Sanders was asked how he plans to tackle Medicare fraud if the program is expanded to cover every American.
“When you have a system that is motivated by greed and profiteering, that’s what you’re going to have. When you have a system which is non-profit, whose function is to provide health care to all, I think the level of fraud will go significantly down and we’re going to monitor that very very carefully,” Sanders said at a town hall in Florence, S.C. on Friday. watch

Fucking ten dollar pencils. Maggot. Gubbment, these days, by definition is fraud.
Medicare is fraud. Medicare for all is spreading fraud.
There will be much less reported Medicare fraud because it will be so much easier to carry out undetected.

2. those young’uns that follow him dont GAS about medicare fraud so whose votes is he buying?
And adding more cars on the road will lead to fewer accidents
$50 billion here, $50 billion there, pretty soon you’re talking about some real money.
Pffft.
Same old Snake-Oil, different salesman!
Revrum Wright´s two-bit, “God-Damn America”-hating, Communist-Organizing, Marxist Muzlim Mallard (disguised as a Black man) said the same, exact thing when foisting his “Healthcare” on America! “It will pay for itself just in the significant reduction of fraud!”
We all know how that worked out, now don’t we?
The check is in the mail, this won’t hurt a bit, if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor…
Fool Me Once, shame on you… Fool me twice, shame on me.
Sick and tired of people who swallow the poison pills, thinking that it is food.
