You should share anger for all the taxpayer dollars being stolen and never spent on the 'victims' its supposedly meant to help.

Social programs have been funded, show poor results, then seem like dead ends because of fraud.

Stealing money put aside to help the less fortunate is far more heinous imo.

Even with the losses a lot more is provided per dollar because its done at-cost, and the majority still going to the most desperate.

If we wanted to worry about the bigges source of theft though it is wage theft by a large margin over all other forms of threat combined. And the healthcare industry is ripe with labor abuses.

You mean like Bret Favre the millionaire conservative ex-NFL quarterback's welfare scandal stealing from the poor? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_welfare_funds_scan...

Or do you mean like Republican Senator from Florida Rick Scott who was elected AFTER he was involve in $1.7 billion dollars in Medicaid fraud (largest in history) and whom the Republican party embraces and endorses and has in a position of power today? https://www.justice.gov/archive/opa/pr/2003/June/03_civ_386....
