But that is not the sort of fraud Republicans are worried about. They want to make sure noone cheats an extra bottle of aspirin out of the system.

@gnaddrig I'm going to challenge that point of view. This bit was from the Bulwark (https://www.thebulwark.com/p/the-real-story-behind-the-minnesota-welfare-fraud-scandal) on the Minnesota fraud 'story'. Sure, there is some unproven allegations of "immigrants" getting free medical care on the taxpayers dime (because racism) but that has not been typically "medicare fraud". I'm still curious how universal health care would address what the Bulwark was reporting as fraud. @GeePawHill

@gnaddrig @ChuckMcManis @GeePawHill yes. "Fraud" is often code for "a person of color getting something for free" (or, sometimes, "existing")
