"National Report Medicare Fraud Day" on September 12th is a special day to remind people about being honest with Medicare, a health insurance program mainly for older people. Sometimes, people cheat by pretending they need money from Medicare when they don't. This day helps teach everyone, including kids, to tell the truth and report any cheating they see. It's like being a detective to make sure everyone plays fair and that the money is used to help people who really need it. By reporting fraud, we can protect the program and ensure it helps those who truly require it.
