As President Trump's administration tackles the mess left behind by the Biden regime, a hidden relic of the Obama era continues to drain billions from American taxpayers with virtually no oversight or accountability.
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) – a bureaucratic monster buried deep within Obamacare – has been operating in the shadows for over a decade, conducting costly "experiments" on our healthcare system while lawmakers focus on more visible problems like Biden's supersized insurance subsidies.
Here's what makes CMMI particularly outrageous: this agency can literally redesign how Medicare and Medicaid operate without going through Congress. That's right, Patriots – unelected bureaucrats have been given carte blanche to mess with seniors' healthcare and burn through your tax dollars on their pet projects.
The Deep State's Healthcare Playground
Since its creation, CMMI has launched hundreds of pilot programs and "demonstration projects" that sound impressive on paper but deliver little for actual patients. Meanwhile, the costs keep piling up, and the administrative bloat keeps growing.
This is exactly the kind of unaccountable government waste that President Trump and Elon Musk's DOGE initiative were created to eliminate. While Congress debates the more obvious problems with Obamacare's insurance subsidies, CMMI quietly continues its costly experiments with zero meaningful oversight.
"The American people deserve healthcare innovation that actually works, not expensive government experiments that benefit bureaucrats more than patients," said one healthcare policy expert familiar with CMMI's operations.
With Republicans controlling both Congress and the White House, now is the perfect time to take a hard look at this Obama-era relic. The Trump administration has already shown it's serious about draining the swamp and cutting wasteful spending – CMMI should be next on the chopping block.
How many more billions will we let unelected bureaucrats waste on failed healthcare experiments while hardworking Americans struggle with rising medical costs?
