Original Note:
The $2.7T figure is for improper payments across all federal agencies since 2004, not just Medicare/Medicare and not specifically involving overseas payments. For example, only 43% of improper payments in 2023 were attributed to Medicare/Medicaid. https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R48296 https://www.gao.gov/blog/federal-government-made-236-billion-improper-payments-last-fiscal-year
