You mean Medicare and Medicaid, I think. The answer is, probably - just as private insurers lose large amounts of money for the same reason. Overheard among private insurers is 8-10 times Medicare overhead and 4-5 times Medicaid overhead.

The large scale of fraud in Medicare and Medicaid has resulted in financial losses reaching billions of dollars. This is primarily due to activities such as billing for unnecessary services, inflating claims, or submitting fraudulent claims altogether. These losses have a significant impact on the overall cost of healthcare and require continuous efforts to detect and prevent fraud within these programs.
