Taking out ALL the fraud would seem to be the best first move,altho not a full solution. The problem with this comes in when everyone has their own idea of where the fraud is. Politicians & bureaucrats can kick this can down the road no longer.

By every calculation I've ever seen, the structural deficit (longer lives, lower birthrates) of both Medicare and Social Security exceeds the "fraud deficit" by at least 5:1 or more.

I am not, not, not against getting rid of fraud. But it's delusional to think that doing so will do any more than postpone the inevitable by a few years.

Of course, those who think that that postponement will cover them for the rest of their retired lives are probably fine with the idea.....
