Why Cutting Medicare Employees Could Increase Government Spending

As discussions on reducing the size of government continue, one key area that warrants careful consideration is Medicare. While Elon Musk and others advocate for reducing the number of federal government employees, cutting staff in Medicare could potentially lead to an increase in government spending.

Proponents of Medicare often highlight its lower administrative costs compared to private health insurance companies. While it’s true that administrative costs are lower in Medicare, the lack of sufficient administrators could actually make the program less efficient due to the prevalence of fraud. With fewer staff members to oversee operations, instances of fraud may go unnoticed or unaddressed, ultimately costing the government more in the long run.

According to estimates, the annual amount of fraud in Medicare and Medicaid exceeds $100 billion. It’s plausible to suggest that for every additional 100 employees dedicated to combating fraud in Medicare, the program could potentially save $1 billion. Even if the cost per employee, including benefits and pensions, amounts to $200,000 per year, the investment in additional staff could prove to be cost-effective in reducing fraud.

While it may require more than 100 employees to achieve significant savings, the potential impact on reducing fraud and improving efficiency in Medicare could outweigh the initial investment in staff. By allocating resources towards hiring and training more employees to tackle fraud, the government could potentially save billions in fraudulent claims.
