Nothing New Is It? Medicare Fraud, $225 million Worth

111 charged in Medicare scams worth $225 million - Yahoo! News


It's about time for unlearned people to become learned about this subject.  May then they will stop blaming the poor and sick, or just plain poor, and the disabled, for being a drain on the system.   Pretty soon people will start blaming retirees for living long enough to retire and get what is rightfully theirs.  This type of fraud is nothing new.  It is just not hunted down and punished enough.   These types of people have drained this country's Medicare/Medicaid system since its installment.  For those people who put so much time in trying to cut services for the ones who need it, why not go after yourselves and your buddies, stop stealing, and stop blaming the wrong people for this travesty. 


@Fun.  What in the world do the unions have to do with rich people stealing from the Federal Assistance Programs?   Those who, like you, dread the unions, are dissatisfied because you know they won't let you roll them over, or that in some instances they might roll you over first.  Put the blame where it belongs, (if you have the courage), on the ones named in this disclosure.


It is truly amazing that some people are so against the health care bill when it would at some point help the people who are against it.  For sure, if this country allows the Conservatives to make the welfare system private, fraud and embezzlement will get even worse.  The government has always allowed too many loopholes in the system for people who know how to rob us blind, and blame the people mentioned in my previous blog for needing the system.  If we allow the rich to rob those in need via the ballot box, then we deserve whatever we get.  Those who bypass the ballot box for whatever reason they can conjure up, have no say in it anyway.  That is too piteous. There's something in a vote for everyone.  If the rich get control of this system, it's out of the government's hands and we have no advocate, such as it is, at any rate.




@ GreatExpectations
I can appreciate your sentiment, but that is the wish of those who want control over how much is paid to whom.  I suggest that is one of the reasons jobs went to other countries - cheap labor.  We advocate that America be educated for the workforce, etc., but when it comes to unions, those in power want no part of it because they cannot control the wages of unions.  If companies could control what unions do and did not have to negotiate with unions about benefits of any sort, there would not be such an aversion to unions.   Unions did not take away jobs in America, corporations did.  I believe you are right in that were there no unions, more jobs would be available in America because more corporations might keep jobs at home, since they could control the wages of employees.
