CONGRESSIONAL WATCHDOG SAYS MEDICARE FRAUD CAN’T BE MEASURED: “It would be really nice to know how much fraud there is in Medicare and other healthcare programs,” Government Accountability Office’s Health Care Director Kathleen King says on an official podcast. It’s so difficult to know because it’s so easy for fraudsters to fool investigators, according to the Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group’s Ethan Barton. Uncle Sam spent nearly $850 billion on Medicare last year.
