Excerpt from Health Care Fraud: Hearing Before the Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 2:21 p.m. in room SD-226, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Joseph R. Biden, Jr., (chairman of the committee), presiding. Also present: Senators Grassley and Cohen. Opening Statement Of Hon. Joseph R. Biden, Jr., A U. S. Senator From The State Of Delaware The Chairman. The hearing will come to order. The President and this Congress have made comprehensive reform in the health care system a key priority this year. The Judiciary Committee convenes this hearing today as part of a coordinated effort by the Senate committees to conduct a full review of the President´s health care reform proposals. Twenty-five years ago, health care spending totaled just 5 percent of the Nation´s economy. Since then, its share has almost tripled, to 14 percent, over $1 trillion, in 1994. The President´s health care reform legislation seeks to bring those costs under control, even while ensuring better care for all Americans. A key part of the President´s plan to control costs is to reduce the amount of fraud in the system. And make no mistake about it, there is plenty of fraud. While it is impossible to come up with a precise dollar amount, most experts - and we have held hearings on this before - estimate that fraud accounts for about 10 percent of health care expenditures. The American public pays for this fraud. Fraud against private insurers is passed along to consumers in the form of higher prices for health insurance. Fraud against Medicare or other government programs is, of course, paid for by the taxpayers directly. Either way, the American public pays the bill. Let´s put this in perspective. In 1994, there will be an estimated $100 billion worth of fraud in the provision of health care services. That means that a family of four will spend approximately $1,600 this year just to line the pockets of a few.
