國會調查聯邦醫療保險與醫療補助詐欺行為
Congress Investigates Medicare and Medicaid Fraud
聯邦醫療保險(Medicare)與醫療補助(Medicaid)是涵蓋超過一億四千萬名美國人的關鍵醫療計畫,然而其龐大的規模使其成為犯罪詐騙的主要目標。
Medicare and Medicaid are critical health programs covering over 140 million Americans, but their massive scale makes them prime targets for criminal fraud.
政府稽核處(GAO)已將這些計畫列為高風險,並指出詐騙、浪費與濫用每年導致納稅人損失超過一千億美元。
The Government Accountability Office has flagged these programs as high-risk, noting that fraud, waste, and abuse cost taxpayers over $100 billion annually.
眾議院能源與商業委員會等國會委員會頻繁調查這些問題,以確保財政責任與病患安全。
Congressional committees like the House Energy and Commerce Committee frequently investigate these issues to ensure fiscal responsibility and patient safety.
為了打擊此類犯罪,國會召開聽證會,並與司法部合作,透過《虛假申報法》追回資金。
To combat this, Congress holds hearings and works with the Department of Justice to recover funds through the False Claims Act.
