🇺🇸 The DOGE team dropped the largest Medicaid dataset in history:

10.32 GB of aggregated claims, procedures, and payments (2018–2024) open-sourced for anyone to download and analyze.

Goal: crowdsource fraud detection in an $800B+ program.

Already spotlighting cases like Minnesota’s $20M autism therapy scam and massive outliers.

The hunt for waste, fraud, and abuse just got crowdsourced.

If we can at least claw back that money it would help. Its not enough to arrest either, the damage needs restitution.

I LOVE the idea of “crowdsourcing” applied to government

Before the internet, society would have to rely on the assembly of “experts” - which became the whole foundation of progressive, marxist, central-planning and statist ideology

Now, due to the internet, “crowdsourcing” can be applied to SO MANY functions of government

analysis of medicine efficacy and trials
crime investigation
economic analysis
government fraud investigation
operating system creation

the list in endless

“crowdsourcing” literally destroys the most basic functions of government

“Yep, what happens next? Anything?”

***********

Lots of threats, posturing and outrage, but no meaningful actions or consequences. Same old movie over and over again.

With the term “dropped” meaning “has delivered”.
I’m still getting used to this current way of using certain terms.

“Have Grok do it.”

When I hear of such massive data sets, AI comes to mind. Would someone have to train Grok? Show it what to look for? Fraud may not be immediately obvious to Grok. Once it gets the hang of it though, I think it would be extremely fast.
