Agree that there should be checks in place to prevent and prosecute fraud. It won’t be a simple solution.

That’s why the insurance-paid healthcare is a problem in general. It is broken by design, enabling enrichment of the healthcare providers (hospitals and clinics). The only real solution, I believe, is local government-run clinics and hospitals, just like public schools. Then people will have a choice to either stick with public healthcare or go private (again, just like K-12 schools) supported by local taxes.

So why are you against it then? Sounds like that’s gonna make you rich :)

How does it work in all other developed countries then? And how is this socialism? Are public schools / police / fire departments are also socialist?

Try to find at least one country that has the same healthcare payer model as the U.S. There are none among developed. We’ve been told these scary stories about public healthcare for way too long, but look at the rest of the world, don’t just blindly believe what you are told.
