Medicare administrator violated Hatch Act, says watchdog group

Watchdog organization Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a complaint against Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Seema Verma Friday.

CREW’s complaint to the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) details how Verma used her official Twitter account to take a shot at “Medicare for all” in a Halloween-themed tweet on Wednesday.

The organization said Verma's tweet violated the Hatch Act.

Verma tweeted a photo of a T-shirt printed with "Medicare for all," calling it "this year's scariest Halloween costume."
