My Floor Speech on the Potential for Fraud and Abuse in Medicare and Medicaid

[JA238979]

Remember when Senator Cornyn gave away a trillion dollars to Wall Street last year? That was funny.

Thank you for expressing my opinions. I have many years of health insurance experience and understand the problems you are speaking of. I am newly on Medicare and Medicade and learning the system. I know how providers are continually out to provide services I do not want or need. Providers for diabetes are the ones I have the most experience with. I do not have diabetes. Stoping fraud in the beginning of the billing process is easier and cheaper than doing it later.

It seems reasonable and logical that we fix the problems with our current "public option" programs than blindly moving forward and creating another one.

The question for me is who's listening to Senator Cornyn. It disturbs me greatly that most of the power in Congress lies in its leadership opposed to the rank-and-file.

It's unconscionable that the bill sent to the CBO has not been released to the Senate members.

Keep up the fight Senator Cornyn against the public option for healthcare!
