chalu,
There is another waste of tax payers' money that needs addressing. There is rampant fraud in the Medicare system, all the way through any medical facility, or service connected to medical treatment of the elderly. I am involved in a situation that, I feel it is my duty to report as fraudulent to the Medicare fraud division. On a transport of my mother, 13 miles, from a hospital to the Alzheimer's facility where she lives, an ambulance company made a claim to medicare for $512.50. I checked with other companies, acting like I would need such a transport and, their first questions were if she was ambulatory and if she could ride in a wheel chair. Since she could do both of these, 4 other ambulance companies would have sent a wheel chair van, and the bill would have been about $60.00. Medicare paid these crooks over $350.00, that comes out of the taxpayer's pockets. If everyone would turn these people in, maybe some action would be taken, whoever is in the White House. ~H~ |
