Reply #1: Fraud is going to exist no matter how Medicare is run, but I would suggest two things. [View All]

Dump Medicare Advantage. Instead of outsourcing certain services to outside contractors, do it in-house without the needless profit mark-ups outside contractors place on services. And get rid of Medicare Part D in favor of allowing Medicare to directly negotiate bulk medicine prices with pharmaceutical companies instead of subsidizing people's enrollment in private health insurance plans, who also tack on a profit mark-up on the costs, just for the prescription coverage.

Both of these suggestions would save Medicare billions in an average year.
