This Just In: Over $98 Billion Wasted in Improper Payments

From Yahoo News.

"More than $98 billion in taxpayer dollars spent by government agencies was wasted, much of it on questionable claims for tax credits and Medicare benefits, representing an increase of $26 billion from the previous year."

How many people could've gotten health care coverage with that money? Perhaps the 12 million who really NEED it?
