Elon Musk's government efficiency is rapidly expanding its scope through the federal government.
I recently accessed the system Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Musk and his team are currently considering major Medicare and Medicaid payment and contract systems.
It was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
In X, Musk said he believes he cites “a big money scam is happening.”
Medicare insures the elderly. Medicaid provides insurance for low-income and people with disabilities.
These two health insurance programs serve tens of millions of people and consume a large portion of federal and state budgets. So how can DoGe affect these services?
