"Why $13B Given To Insurers?" AOC Grills RFK Jr Over Medicare Payments APT ---------YouTube [View all]
Apr 22, 2026 #AOC #RFKJr #Medicare
A heated House hearing saw Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez confront Health Secretary RFK Jr over billions of dollars in Medicare Advantage payments to insurance companies like UnitedHealth. Lawmakers raised serious concerns about alleged fraud, overpayments, and controversial “upcoding” practices used by insurers to increase profits. AOC’s sharp questioning highlighted growing tensions over healthcare spending, accountability, and transparency in the U.S. system. The exchange has intensified debate around healthcare reform and the role of private insurers in public programs.
Thank goodness for AOC.
