Why Taxpayers are Losing Billions (and How to Fix It)

Why Taxpayers are Losing Billions (and How to Fix It)

Billions in taxpayer dollars are reportedly being drained each year by fraud and improper payments, with federal prosecutors uncovering schemes ranging from AI-generated fake records in Minnesota to missing or flawed paperwork in health programs across several states. Lawmakers held multiple fraud hearings this week as new findings from the Government Accountability Office estimate the federal government loses hundreds of billions annually, with Medicare, Medicaid, tax credits, and SNAP among the hardest-hit programs. James Lankford, Oklahoma Republican Senator joins the Rundown to discuss whether Congress can actually rein in waste, fraud, and abuse. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has released an updated statement recommending against gender surgeries for anyone under the age of 19, marking a significant shift in the medical debate over treating transgender minors. While groups argue that healthcare decisions should remain between families and doctors, plastic surgeon and Netflix’s Skin Decision: Before and After star Dr. Sheila Nazarian joins to explain why many in her field are raising alarms over a lack of long-term data and why she believes evidence-based medicine must guide the treatment of gender dysphoria in children. Plus, commentary by Howard Kurtz, media and political analyst and the former host of FOX News Channel's MediaBuzz. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
