OZ: "In February, we had the largest anti fraud announcement from cms the day after the State of the Union address, to which the president created that this task force and and appointed the vice president to lead it. Today’s effort is larger. It’s much larger and there’s reason for that. Half of the fraud we believe in the. Federal government could be coming out of health care services, we’re a large rhino that can be stabbed effortlessly by foreign governments. Sick is syndicated, criminal and and entities and smaller time operators you can take advantage of the system we with, as Andrew pointed out, is little as Medicare beneficiary number, which is basically a credit card to defraud the system. Unfortunately that resulted about a hundred billion dollars of estimated that the just from Medicare and Medicaid that just to put it in the context of affordability, which is a very important subtext of this discussion, we would be able to double the life expectancy of the Medicare trust fund. If we could deal with the fraud issues in just in Medicare, so anyone who’s out there work in their tail. A lot of hope and Medicare will be there with them and for them than we don’t many young Americans don’t think that’s gonna be the case. It will be the case.
