Dr. Coburn Introduces Bill To Stop Medicare and Medicaid Fraud “FAST”

Today, Dr. Coburn introduced a bill with Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL, 6th) that was inspired by the President Obama’s February 22, 2010 endorsement of several Republican proposals designed to combat waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid. Dr. Coburn introduced S.3900, the “Fighting Fraud and Abuse to Save Taxpayers’ Dollars” or “FAST” Act. Original cosponsors in the Senate include Senators LeMieux, DeMint, McCain, and Inhofe.
