Is CMS tracking what percentage of home health recipients are refugees for foreign born and why are foreigners using these programs at such higher rates than poor Americans? Well We are tracking illegal immigrants taking advantage of all health care plans we've already recouped. We've actually told California they owe us $2 billion. We've got half of it back already. I'm confident we'll get the rest because they have state based programs that we don't have a lot of visibility into. (23:48–23:56)
