As the saying goes, $100B here, $100B there, and pretty soon we'll be talking about real money.

More seriously, if the $100B estimate is accurate, all I can say is, wow.

The three-hit combo of “$100B in fraud”, “this is a conservative estimate and it’s way higher in reality”, and “Medicare and Medicaid are $900B each” really floored me. It’s 10% fraud!

Honestly 10% fraud doesn't seem that bad for a government program. I guess the real issue is how big the 90% is.
