This resolution expresses strong support for ongoing efforts to protect Medicare, Medicaid, and other Federal health care programs from fraud, waste, abuse, and improper payments. It advocates for strengthened program integrity measures, enhanced oversight, and coordinated enforcement actions to safeguard taxpayer dollars and preserve the long-term sustainability of the nation's health care safety net. The resolution specifically recognizes the work of the Trump administration and congressional Republicans in investigating and prosecuting fraud. The resolution highlights the significant financial impact of improper payments, noting that the Government Accountability Office reported over $100 billion in Medicare and Medicaid improper payments in fiscal year 2023, and tens of billions in fiscal year 2025. It emphasizes the vulnerability of these programs to sophisticated fraud schemes and issues like insufficient documentation. To combat this, the resolution supports improving provider screening, beneficiary eligibility verification, predictive analytics, claims oversight, and interagency coordination , aiming to shift from a "pay and chase" model to proactive fraud prevention. Ultimately, reducing fraud, waste, and abuse is deemed essential for protecting the long-term effectiveness of these vital health care programs.
