Department of Government Efficiency
@DOGE
Great partnership and collaboration with the @CMSGov
team to help eliminate $14B in duplicative Medicaid and ACA enrollment. After identifying the correct databases and validating datasets, the CMS and DOGE teams were able to uncover 2.8 million Americans improperly enrolled in multiple programs.

CMS will be working with states to delete duplicative enrollments and ensure that NO individuals lose their one, lawful health insurance policy. As a result of this effort, beneficiaries will now receive the appropriate level of care without placing undue burden on the American taxpayer.

CMS found 2.8 million Americans enrolled in two or more Medicaid or ACA plans - wasting over $14 Billion in taxpayer funding! This is exactly why we fought for stronger tools in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. https://cms.gov/newsroom/press

I for my entire life have believed in fairness...I know it's a croc...

we can't stop all of this corruption but wouldn't it be nice to cut off the govts multiple taxing authorities that keep the masses poor or struggling.

every single thing in life has some tax to it.

Where’s the government oversight?

Why aren’t reporters asking members of the congressional oversight committees about the fraud, waste and abuse?

It may be the state level medicaid/ACA which is absorbing funds. A person doesn’t need two blood tests - one from each of two different medicaid programs. However, if someone moves from Maine to Idaho, they may have 2 accounts, one in each state. It’s possible the states leave people on the rolls, even if notified of a move, in order to keep their portion of taxpayer awarded funds from the Feds.

In CA, these services are heavily over used. I guess someone could open two accounts and give one to an illegal to use. In which case, yes, send them the bill.

Almost Bingo.

Two accounts...lab or other provider bills to each.

Double payments for just one patient.

What’s not to like? /s

Here’s what’s going on...

If your income falls below a limit, and you live in a state with “expanded Medicaid,” and you apply for insurance on Healthcare.gov, your name will be sent to Medicaid.

Even if you’re able to change your application and qualify for an “ACA plan” right away, Medicaid will keep your name on its list. Then, Medicaid will refuse to remove your name, even if you call multiple times and tell them to remove your name, tell them you have insurance, and never use Medicaid.

It’s funny how the politicians didn’t know that. They don’t even know what their own laws do. Many of us could’ve told “DOGE” ourselves. It wasn’t a big secret.
