Government Fraud Recovery Efforts
So we've recovered about $280 billion in fraud, and that's just since the president
made me the leader of the fraud task force.
Of course, there's a lot more out there.
We're gonna continue to work, and we actually have a big announcement,
I believe,
with Dr. Oz tomorrow morning on some additional
fraud that we found.
But it's just everywhere, Greg. It's in, it's in Medicaid.
It's people who don't deserve, who are not entitled to those benefits who are
getting them. It's, it's illegal people who
are collecting Social Security.
It's Medicare benefits that are going not to the people who paid into
it for their
entire lives, but in some ti- cases, total phantoms, people who have
invented a human being on paper just to collect fake
benefits. It's everywhere in our federal government
because unfortunately for so
long we had an administration, a series of administrations
who just didn't take fraud seriously.
Uh, one of the best things the President of
the United States has done, and it's a
long list, but one of the very best things he's done
is actually
empower us to fight fraud at all levels of the government 'cause it's happening at
all levels of the government.
