That is basically the same reason that conservatives have been able to sell the lie that government programs are inefficient compared to the dictatorship of corporations. You don’t hear anything about the vast majority of government programs, because they work. You only hear about the ones that got corruption and greed mixed in, because those can be called wasteful. In reality most government programs are far more efficient than any corporation could hope to be.
Particularly egregious because any private replacement of a govt program is inherently a monopoly and therefore, by economic rules, almost certain to be wasteful and shite. And outcome metrics are financial rather than intentional. Yeah but ok let’s not go down this hole, we all know where we stand.

Incidentally the parts of Medicaid that have the most fraud are run by private corporations
