Healthcare Oversight & Accountability
What it is
Healthcare money oversight was a persistent candidate theme in 2026. The Modern Vascular case — a federal fraud case over vascular clinics that billed Medicare for care given to Navajo patients — is a documented example of what happens when oversight fails. The ZenniHome pattern (contracts bypassing accountability) was named in healthcare contexts too. Accountability requires knowing who is watching the money.
