Family Security Matters » Publications » Henry Waxman – Fraud King: "Fraud and abuse in America's healthcare system costs taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars a year – more than enough to pay for high quality private health insurance for every uninsured American. But for whatever reason, Congress ignores this massive pot of money, powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) in particular.

A new Zogby poll asked Americans what is their preferred way to pay for modernizing our healthcare system. Eighty-eight percent said 'eliminate fraud' which was well ahead of the second place finisher, 'standardize administrative forms' at 77 percent. 'Reduce medical errors' was third at 72 percent."
