BREAKING: HHS unveiled a new crackdown on fraud and abuse in federal health programs, with Secretary Kennedy saying CMS identified 189,000 subsidized enrollments in 2026 involving duplicate Medicare, Medicaid or CHIP coverage. The agency also removed improper subsidies in all cases where records showed enrollees had died. CMS estimates the effort will prevent $738 million in improper subsidy payments this year, with annualized savings exceeding $1.5 billion. ]]> Wed 14 Oct 2026 14:59:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620674/breaking-hhs-unveiled-a-new-crackdown-on-fraud-and-abuse-in-federal-health-programs/
