Not a laughing matter by any means but your catchy heading is well noted.

Thanks for posting this.

Well, what's interesting will be how the federal government goes after the doctors and clinics.

Or not.

Interesting you note that Mr. Bill b/c it's many of those providers that have been depleting the system for such great time.

It makes the - unscrupulous agent - appear in a more 'heavenly' light -sadly.

Your point is not lost.... Medicare fraud costs the system billions, while only a few paltry million is spent to ferret out the scalawags. The amount spent to enforce agent compliance is like the security checkpoint at the airline terminal... only there to prop up a public perception that big brother is watching. In reality, it is more of a sham and is a waste of money when better methods are available. They just don't provide the visibility desired.

So true.
