Since 2015, Medicaid has issued over 1.1 trillion trillion with a T in fraudulent and improper payments. So this is something that we want to address. So When you're hearing Medicaid is being cut, no, we are exposing the fraudulent and improper payments that have totaled over $1 trillion since 2015. So, for example, with Snap, we're talking about cutting junk food and sugary drinks that are poisoning our children. That is something that I think is very important as SNAP is Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. (18:39–18:50)
