Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This House resolution expresses support for strengthening fraud prevention and oversight in Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health care programs. The resolution highlights that improper payments in these programs totaled over $90 billion in recent fiscal years, with Medicaid's improper payment rate exceeding 6 percent and Medicare's ranging from 4 to 6.55 percent depending on the program component. It recognizes efforts by the Trump administration and congressional Republicans to combat fraud through advanced analytics, artificial intelligence tools, and enforcement actions, including a major fraud takedown in 2025 involving $14.6 billion in alleged fraudulent schemes and charges against 324 defendants. The resolution calls for continued collaboration among federal agencies, states, and law enforcement to prevent fraud before payments occur rather than recovering money after the fact, and supports measures like improved provider screening, beneficiary eligibility verification, and predictive analytics to protect taxpayer dollars and ensure program sustainability for current and future beneficiaries.
