"As we work to ensure the long-term solvency of critical safety net programs, like Medicaidand Medicare, we have an obligation to ensure we are serving as good stewards of taxpayer dollars, said Congressman Gus Bilirakis. "This means we must prevent fraud, waste, and abuse whenever possible. By implementing simple safeguards like the ones in this bill, we can strengthen these programs and help ensure they are meeting their intended purpose of providing access to quality care for our most vulnerable citizens."
"We've got to cut government spending when it's not helping everyday Minnesotans. That's why I'm proud to lead this bipartisan bill with Rep. Bilirakis today to improve Medicaid and ensure we're using taxpayer dollars responsibly. I'll be working across the aisle to get this common sense bill passed," said Rep. Angie Craig.
