Bera Signs on to Bipartisan Bill to Combat Waste, Fraud, Abuse in Medicare and Medicaid
Statement
Issues: Health Insurance
Congressman Ami Bera, M.D. today joined with 23 other Members of Congress from both parties to introduce the Preventing and Reducing Improper Medicare and Medicaid Expenditures (PRIME) Act of 2015 to combat waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid.
"As a doctor, I know how important it is to both strengthen Medicare for our seniors and reduce runaway health care costs," said Bera. "The PRIME Act does just that, ensuring that criminals can't take advantage of the system and resources get to the people who need them. It's a commonsense, bipartisan bill that will save billions of taxpayer dollars."
