Here are $1.2 Billion (with a B) anecdotes. Just 24 masterminds on telephones pulled this one off. https://www.npr.org/2019/04/10/711688988/feds-charge-24-in-alleged-1-2-billion-medicare-fraud-scheme … Lots of estimates on total fraud amount but hard to measure. This alone isn’t a reason to expand or not, but fraud isn’t rounding error.

Good review of scope of this: https://www.economist.com/united-states/2014/05/31/the-272-billion-swindle … I think bigger issue is that MC pays for tons more of unnecessary care (not backed by science or evidence). This isn’t fraud per se, but a piggy bank for unscrupulous providers.
