Days after $5 million donation to MAGA Inc., Trump freezes Medicare waste crackdown
Trump pledged to root out "waste, fraud and abuse." Then a big contribution to his Super PAC came in.
1. On February 24, Extremity Care LLC, a company that sells very expensive bandages made from placentas, donated $5 MILLION TO TRUMP'S SUPER PAC
Days later, Trump froze a pending rule that would BAR MEDICARE FROM COVERING EXTREMITY CARE'S PRODUCTS, which are overpriced & not backed by science.
