Brett Arends, a financial columnist, has made a bombshell revelation about the UnitedHealth Medicare Advantage program. The program is riddled with overpayments, amounting to $83 billion. This shocking discovery raises questions about whether leaders like Elon Musk and Trump will take action against this waste.
Elon Musk and his “DOGE” group have already implemented budget cuts of $55 billion in the federal budget. However, a significant increase in their efforts could be achieved by targeting the Medicare Advantage program. By addressing these massive overpayments, they could potentially add another 150% to their current savings. This would bring the total to $82.5 billion.
The implications of this discovery are far-reaching and warrant attention from policymakers. Will Musk and Trump take on this challenge, or will it remain a contentious issue? Only time will tell.
