GAO: $236 Billion in ‘Improper Payments’ Last Year - Epoch Times New York

https://print.theepochtimes.com/p/epoch-times-new-york/4-3-24/a/gao-236-billion-in-improper-payments-last-year/6291/1391935/51018455

The $236 billion calculation doesn’t include certain government programs that agencies determined were “susceptible to significant improper payments.”

As such, GAO said the $236 billion estimate “potentially does not represent the full extent of improper payments.”

Improper payments point to a “material deficiency or weakness in internal controls” at the agencies, GAO said.

After four years of watching fake science take over the world, with hundreds of thousands of fake papers followed by ridiculous headlines, all pushing some agenda that ruins people’s lives, I’ve finally developed a rule-based system for ferreting out fraud.

Rule one: If it is a press release without complete disclosure of every bit of data and method, alongside possible conflicts of interest, dismiss it.

Rule two: If it relies entirely on correlation and makes no attempt at plausible causal inference, dismiss it.

Rule three: If the paper does not correct for obvious bias that could provide a completely different explanation of the prevailing trend, dismiss it.

How Much Medical Knowledge Have We Lost? - Opinion

Even now, it is hard to get any medical appointment for anything without being hounded for one’s vaccine status. No one is even allowed to apply for citizenship or attend many schools without getting the shot that we know for sure does not work and is unusually dangerous.

How could this still be going on? It has something to do with the stubborn unwillingness to admit error. It also has to do with profits on investments: The vaccine makers are determined to win this one.

The Disaster of American Health Care - Opinion

https://print.theepochtimes.com/p/ab-opinion/3-20-24/a/the-disaster-of-american-health-care/6442/1364109/50121057

there is one aspect of the crazy system that has become a third rail ever since it was introduced by President Barack Obama with the 2010 Affordable Care Act. This is the idea that health-insurance providers cannot discriminate against “preexisting conditions.” The idea is that insurers cannot take health into account when assessing premiums.

That provision alone means that it is not insurance. It guarantees that healthy people will forever subsidize unhealthy people. It means that there is zero financial reward for getting healthy.
