And he just talked about having actual doctors look into cleaning it up.

Actual doctors don’t need to clean it up - law enforcement putting away the doctors and others who are defrauding taxpayers to the tune of billions is what’s needed. Miami has Medicaid fraud to the tune of $1 billion a year. AG Cuomo in NY has found hundreds of millions in fraud in just the past few months.

Improving reimbursements to doctors would help keep doctors in the Medicare/Medicaid system. Better accounting and audit procedures would limit the fraud and waste. Those don’t take doctors.

Also, if you’re increasing the number of people utilizing health care professionals, that means you need more doctors to provide that care, unless you want to cut the amount of time that those professionals spend per patient. I’m not sure that you want that situation…
