Rep. Perry’s tele-town hall agenda includes cutting fraud and waste—good start. But let’s talk real accountability. The Medicaid Integrity Program has squandered $72M annually on contractor bloat while failing to recover over $36B in improper payments.

If Congress wants credibility, start by gutting Section X of the Medicaid Provider Accountability Act, which funnels cash to third-party auditors instead of frontline fraud prevention. National security? Redirect the $1.2B wasted on redundant DHS consulting contracts to border tech and vetting.

Until bills target systemic rot, these town halls are just performative theater.
