Stop double-billing of war heroes and seniors in health care.

What it does

The bill tells the VA and HHS to share data. They will look at people who use both VA health care and Medicare or Medicaid. The two groups will find and stop fake billing. They will report to Congress on whether sharing data stops bad payments.

Who it affects

War heroes and seniors are affected. They get health care from both the VA and Medicare or Medicaid. The VA and HHS must work together to find and stop fraud.

One thing to notice

The bill does not say how to keep shared data safe. It does not say how to code it or tell people if it leaks.
