As a congressman, Andy Harris is a living example of waste, fraud, and abuse.

Waste - he's wasted more than enough of our time and tax payer funds with his ineptitude.

Fraud - now in his seventh term, he promised to serve no more than six terms. Oh, but things changed since he made that promise. Really? Was he so naive to think that things wouldn't change in 12 years? As an anesthesiologist did he continue to use technologies and methodologies that were 12 years old? If so, then he's even more of a waste.

Abuse - I think he's abused his constituents enough already. It's way past time that they disabused themselves of this waste and fraud.

So glad that I no longer live in his district.

So well stated. He is a disgrace but so are the constituents who keep electing him.

“Waste, fraud, and abuse” is nothing more than a MAGA dog whistle at this point.

The fraud on Medicaid that we need to worry about isnt with recipients. It's with providers

Dont I recall that current us senator Rick scott's hospital chain was fined $1.7 billion for Medicaid fraud. Fact check me in that

Thanks Dan. Medicaid is normally based on need. Many receive SSI. Some of the beneficiaries also get Medicare on their own Title II disability allowances after 24 months of payment. Others get disabled widows or widowers benefits (age 50 or older), or childhood disability benefits (provided the disability began before age 22).
