Addressing Healthcare Fraud and Coverage
Nenhum paciente americano se beneficiava do
problema que estamos resolvendo hoje, nenhum.
Vou dizer quem se beneficiava, porém.
Corretores e seguradoras estavam arrecadando bilhões de
dólares com esses problemas. Nenhum americano foi ajudado por isso.
Nenhum paciente se beneficiava da cobertura duplicada.
Eles recebiam cobertura de uma ou de outra, e o dinheiro, de outro modo,
desaparecia nos bolsos de corretores e seguradoras.
Se você se importa com a ACA, se quer que a
ACA funcione, deveria agradecer a cada pessoa
neste palco
porque a única forma de ela sobreviver é se
esses problemas forem resolvidos, a fraude for interrompida e
a integridade for restaurada. Foi uma escolha consciente
decisão do governo anterior de não fazer nada quanto a isso, e isso
não ajudou ninguém. Nenhum paciente se beneficiava disso.
Ricas seguradoras e corretores inescrupulosos
eram os únicos beneficiários disso.
Isso foi corrigido hoje. Os americanos terão
cobertura hoje, amanhã, pelos programas que estamos protegendo.
Ninguém perde cobertura por causa disso, mas o dinheiro que, de outra forma, iria
enriquecer gigantescas seguradoras e corretores de seguros
agora vai permanecer nestes
programas e chegar às pessoas que realmente precisam dele, e é disso que se trata o
esforço antifraude, em última análise.

Original transcript (English)
Not a single American patient was benefiting from the problem we are fixing today, not one. I will tell you who was benefiting, though. Insurance agents and insurance companies were reaping billions of dollars from these problems. No Americans were helped by this.
No patient was benefited by the duplicate coverage. They were getting coverage from one or the other, and the money was otherwise vanishing into the pockets of insurance agents and insurance companies. If you care about the ACA, if you want the ACA to work, you should be thanking every single person
on this stage because the only way that it survives is if these problems are fixed, that the fraud is stopped, and that integrity is restored. It was a choice, a conscious choice in the previous administration to do nothing about this, and it
helped no one. No patient was benefiting from this. Rich insurance companies and unscrupulous brokers were the only beneficiaries of this. That is fixed today. Americans are gonna have coverage today, tomorrow, from the programs that we are protecting.
No one loses coverage as a result of this, but money that was otherwise going to enrich giant insurance companies and insurance brokers is now gonna stay in these programs and go to the people who actually need it, and that is what the anti-fraud effort is ultimately about.
