AOC: Medicare Advantage Is a Corporate Scam Bleeding $140 Billion from Taxpayers - Liberal Lens

[Rhiannon12866]

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just dropped a truth bomb on the health insurance industry—and the numbers are staggering.

In this powerful floor speech, AOC exposes how Medicare Advantage programs—run by for-profit insurers—are draining $80 to $140 billion per year in public funds, denying care, and scamming taxpayers. From upcoding fraud to CEO profiteering, this is corporate abuse at its worst.

Backed by bipartisan support—including Republican Senator Bill Cassidy—AOC and Rep. Raul Ruiz are pushing the No Upcode Act to stop the fraud and reinvest billions into real Medicare.
