Did 8M People Really Scam Medicaid?

Heard the buzz about 8 million people supposedly faking their way onto Medicaid? Turns out, that viral claim is way overblown.

Always keep your info updated if you move—otherwise, you might get a surprise bill or lose coverage! #Medicaid #MoneyTips #FactCheck #Business
