Dear Congresswoman Van Duyne,
On behalf of AMAC Action, the advocacy affiliate of the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC), with over 2 million members nationwide, I write to express our strong support for HR 8883, the Protecting Seniors and Stopping Fraudsters Act.
AMAC Action applauds the Committee on Ways and Means for advancing HR 8883 as part of its broader effort to combat fraud, strengthen oversight, and protect America’s seniors from abuse within federal healthcare programs. Fraudulent actors who exploit Medicare and other taxpayer-funded programs waste billions of taxpayer dollars and jeopardize the integrity of care relied upon by seniors. Your legislation cracks down on fraud within hospice programs and home health agencies by strengthening enrollment screening requirements, increasing oversight of high-risk providers, and improving accountability throughout the Medicare system.
Enhanced screening and revalidation measures, particularly following ownership changes or the reactivation of billing privileges, will help close loopholes that bad actors have used to access taxpayer dollars and improperly exploit seniors. HR 8883 promotes greater transparency and accountability by strengthening reporting requirements and ensuring beneficiaries receive timely information regarding their rights and healthcare decisions.
Taxpayer-funded programs must operate with integrity, transparency, and accountability. Thank you for your continued commitment to protecting America’s seniors and safeguarding taxpayer dollars.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Weber
CEO, Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC)
Chairwoman, AMAC Action
