Arizona families deserve a health care system that works for everyone--regardless of one’s income or zip code. That starts with reducing prescription drug costs for seniors, capping insulin at just $35 a month, cracking down on fraud and waste in Medicare’s hospice networks, expanding access to quality healthcare services in the Valley, and protecting insurance coverage for pre-existing conditions.

Stanton’s official House health-care page states the hospice-fraud crackdown as an active priority, showing the promise was carried into office messaging but not by itself proving completion.

Whistleblowers identify waste, fraud, abuse, and other misconduct. They play a vital role in helping Congress to conduct its constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities.

Stanton set up a whistleblower intake on his official site for waste, fraud, and abuse complaints, which is concrete oversight infrastructure consistent with the promise.

This bill requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to deactivate the standard unique health identifiers of health care providers that are excluded from federal health care programs because of fraud, waste, or abuse.

Greg Stanton sponsored a federal bill targeting Medicare fraud, waste, and abuse in 2025. It is concrete action toward the broader anti-fraud pledge, but it is not hospice-network-specific and does not by itself show enactment.

AP reported DOJ charges against 455 people in a health-care fraud crackdown involving more than $6.5 billion in alleged false claims, including Medicare schemes.

Within the lookback window, federal enforcement activity shows a broad Medicare fraud crackdown, but the report does not identify Greg Stanton as causing or leading it and is not hospice-network-specific in the excerpt available.

A San Antonio hospice services provider was indicted for an alleged kickback referral scheme causing more than $9 million in ineligible Medicare hospice claims.

This lookback-window reporting cites federal authorities and provides hospice-specific Medicare fraud enforcement, supporting that federal crackdowns are occurring, though not tied to Stanton’s own congressional action.

AP reported CMS imposed a nationwide six-month moratorium on new Medicare enrollments for hospice and home care providers while intensifying investigations and removals.

This is concrete federal action against suspected hospice and home-health fraud, but it is an executive-branch action under the Trump administration, not documented Stanton delivery.

Congress.gov lists H.R.1784 as sponsored by Rep. Lloyd Doggett, with zero cosponsors, referred to committees, and still only introduced.

This materially weakens the prior premise that Stanton sponsored this bill. The bill targets broader health-care fraud, waste, and abuse, not hospice networks specifically, and has not become law.

Stanton’s official health-care page includes cracking down on fraud and waste in Medicare hospice networks among his health-care priorities.

The commitment remains in Stanton’s official messaging during later federal service, but the page does not show enacted legislation, a completed oversight action, or a hospice-specific crackdown attributable to him.

Stanton’s site says whistleblowers can help Congress identify waste, fraud, abuse, and other misconduct through an official submission channel.

The intake form is real oversight infrastructure and could support fraud reporting, but it is broad rather than Medicare-hospice-specific and does not show the promised crackdown was completed.
