"Oh, I mean, listen, we're getting screwed. People are getting screwed. These insurance companies... In fact, the Department of Justice has a criminal case open on United Healthcare for stealing money from Medicare."
"And we're in a time where all of our healthcare is getting defunded. People are committing crimes, and people are getting denied their health insurance. People are getting denied surgeries, medicines-prescriptions are super expensive."
"This administration is responsible for it and rewarding them for it."
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expressed concerns about Medicare Advantage reimbursement and alleged fraud by insurers like United Healthcare. She highlighted the practice of upcoding, where insurers misrepresent patient conditions to charge more. This fraudulent activity reportedly costs the federal government billions. Ocasio-Cortez stated that people are being denied necessary healthcare and that the current administration is complicit in rewarding these practices. She emphasized the broader implications of healthcare defunding and the financial burden on patients.
