After the promises of $2T to find barely a fraction of it, I'm not impressed. Quite frankly, outside of USAID I don't know they've found anything of substance.
I don't see how this is anything DOGE would have uncovered or been able to. This appears to involve foreign criminal enterprises for the most part. I would have to imagine they've been working on this for quite awhile.
The article mentions the DOJ but nothing about DOGE. This is the part that jumped ou to me: Quote:Those charged include 93 doctors and other medical professionals accused of submitting false claims to government healthcare programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
My guess is there are a TON more docs out there doing the exact same thing. If anything, hopefully this event will keep the watchdogs looking more closely, be that the DOJ or DOGE or whoever, as long as the criminals are persecuted, and if found to be actual doctors, those doctors also lose their medical license.
This was a MASSIVE undertaking...so this had to been going on for quite awhile.
Here's a link to the DOJ report which has links to indictments and all sorts of information.
