Another $6 Billion in Health Care Fraud Exposed and prosecuted–6 US city sting

Another $6 Billion in Health Care Fraud Exposed and prosecuted–6 US city sting by jmdenison It is very interesting this article is no where to be found in the Chicago Trib today, but the Christian Science Monitor published it. Ken estimates health care fraud at 70% of the budget.  This article seems to back that up and kudos today for the Obama administration and eliminating this health care fraud so that people with real needs can be better taken care of. http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/2014/0513/Medicare-fraud-Feds-charge-90-plus-people-for-260-million-in-false-claims Recently, $154 million was paid in health care fraud claims by Omnicare without batting an eye.  This $260 million sting operation in health care is not surprising. Today, at the State of Illinois building I saw hundreds picketing for government health care.  I wondered how many of them knew that the massive fraud is the major element in preventing those programs from going forward.  We have plenty of people in need of health care.  For some reason the fraudsters make up imaginary patients and conditions, "treat" those patients when the real patients in need go wanting. Let's work to make this a better system. To expose the fraud and make the doctors and hospitals and nursing homes do their jobs so that people can be healthier and get better.
