WASHINGTON President Clinton announced on Wednesday a special federal-state campaign to crack down on Medicare fraud in California and four other big states where complaints are rising about alleged chicanery in nursing homes and home health care agencies.
Speaking to enthusiastic delegates at the White House Conference on Aging, Clinton pledged to protect Medicare from crooks and cheats while also keeping it safe from political and budgetary pressures.
His remarks sought both to assure and woo senior citizens, whose interests have become the latest element in the continuing tug of war between congressional Republicans and the Administration. Each side is hoping to position itself as the protector of the nations elderly.

It has to start with expanding the court and killing the filibuster.

Identified violators could apply for amnesty though most applications were denied. The commission shed light on what really happened through public hearings, which will be essential after the Trump regime falls.
