On the recordSeptember 29, 2010
Today, I, along with Senators LeMieux, DeMint, and Inhofe, am introducing the FAST Act. What the FAST Act does is attack the $100 billion worth of waste and fraud in Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP. The status quo in Medicaid and Medicare is unsustainable and unacceptable. American taxpayers lose $60 to $100 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid each year.
