As Democrats hammer President Donald Trump, Department of Government Efficiency chief Elon Musk, and Republicans over their call to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare — as well as other government entitlement programs — videos of top Democrats calling for exactly the same thing during a 2010 hearing with then-President Barack Obama have resurfaced.
In one video, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) insists that in order to keep Medicare solvent and providing “the good care we all want” for Americans, it was imperative to cut out the waste, fraud, and abuse.
“The real nub of this is how do we ring that waste out, that fraud, abuse, duplication — without interferring with the good care that we want every person on Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance to get,” Schumer said.
