Medicare Fraud Enforcement Recovered $2.5 billion

WASHINGTON — The government says it recovered $2.5 billion in overpayments for the Medicare trust fund last year as the Obama administration focused attention on fraud enforcement efforts in the health care industry.

Good start?

"...recovered $2.5 billion..."  " ...as the obama administration focused attention on fraud enforcement..."

 

Good start? Yes!...but it will be an even better start when the new law's medicare fraud element actually goes into effect! Taking and/or giving credit for something nobama has not yet done is just what the world is used to. Take, for example, being in office for 11 days and winning the Nobel Prize...

 

Yes, indeed; when the PPACA (signed into law Mar 2010) enhanced medicare fraud detection element of the new law actually goes into effect on 09/23/2010, we can all hope to see mountains of monies recovered.

 

Sign the (PP)Affordable Care Act in on Mar 23, 2010...then on May 13, 2010, announce to the world the good you have done with medicare fraud monetary recovery....except that the Medicare fraud portion of the law does not go into effect until Sept. 23, 2010. 

 

Interesting liberal concept here, I guess?

 

davieboy; when did you give up verifying the truth of the things you post here?

When did he start -or even answer a legitimate question. He avoids the truth at all costs. I don't believe a word he utters.

I expect it will be better.   We can agree on this.   As the article said the $2.5 billion was last year and they have new tools this year. 

 

Taking and/or giving credit for something nobama has not yet done is just what the world is used to.

 

So what's this about giving credit for something not yet done?   We gave credit for that which was done last year and we'll add up the recovery for next year and give credit for that then.

 

Take, for example, being in office for 11 days and winning the Nobel Prize...

 

The prize was not for being president, it was for efforts towards peace.   You can do that before, after or while being president

I believe we will.  It's good to hear you agree.

Interesting conservative bending of the facts ---- one more time.
