Harris announces plan for Medicare to cover long-term care at home - eviltoast
  • Because it’s a huge grift where lots of companies never visit the patient and charge Medicaid a shit ton of money…

    Worth pointing out that this already illegal. That’s actually Medicare Fraud, and how it’s illegal (and how these things get enforced) is explained in https://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Education/Medicare-Learning-Network-MLN/MLNProducts/Downloads/Fraud-Abuse-MLN4649244.pdf

    I’ve done work for a healthcare adjacent company and this was required training. So that part isn’t really broken (in the sense that the system allows and permits it or even protects this), it may just be that we need to spend more money on enforcement of the existing laws.

    The solution isn’t paying those companies even more money to do nothing.

    Agreed.

    The solution is fixing our entire healthcare system.

    As above, enforcing the existing laws after better detection of violations should be enough.

    when it’s against the party platform.
    But for some reason Harris will only do things the majority of voters want

    Uh… yeah. Glad she’s listening to the majority of voters instead of a platform that doesn’t speak to them.
