Error rates transcend administrations.

The good news is that error rates are declining. Of particular note is that SNAP error rates are at an all time low.

Much more work to be done.

That's only with regards to overpayments and underpayments.
I'd like to see an audit on eligibility like they did with lifeline.

"Error rates"?

That sounds like a CNN buzzword.

$100 billion annually is $1 trillion over a decade. And people think that big government is good government.

Ouch.

Last year, 10.1 percent of the payments made under Medicare’s Fee for Service program, which is administered by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, were determined to be either errors or the result of fraud.


Ok, Tea Party. This is your cue: time to eliminate Medicare waste!
