@dyckron This is what happens when you let the market *solve* healthcare.
Premiums doubling overnight, people dropping meds or going blind because they can’t afford $1200/month.
Meanwhile corporate overlords and private insurers laugh all the way to the bank.
This is the US future the libs and libs-lite keep trying to drag us toward
keep medicare public. Keep fighting privatisation.

'A Huge Scandal': Internal Doc Exposes Trump-Musk Hunt for Social Security Fraud as a Sham

A newly reported document shows that "anti-fraud checks" implemented at the Social Security agency found virtually no improper benefit claims—while slowing payments substantially.

An internal #Trump administration document reportedly shows that anti-fraud checks recently installed at the #SocialSecurity agency have found just two cases of potentially improper benefit claims out of more than 110,000—a rate of 0.0018%.

The documents, first reported Thursday by #Nextgov/FCW, further undercut President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk's narrative that Social Security is brimming with fraud. #Musk falsely claimed in March that "40% of the calls into Social Security were fraudulent."
