I KNOW what THEIR motive is - to make as much PROFIT as possible off my illness. It's a no-brainer.

And apparently, you have no brain. The insurance companies make more money off your wellness than they do your illness.

As I said, the Medicare fraud problem is terrible. But, ANY problem can be corrected.

Then why hasn't it? This problem has persisted within GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH PROGRAMS for years. Not commercial insurers, mind you -- only government.

Why do thieves pick on government run health care only? Because that's where the money is. As the criminal they interviewed said, it a trivial task to defraud Medicare out of billions.

It would take me six months to get enrolled as a Medicare provider. At that point, I could be bilking the taxpayers, WITH EASE, out of the same kind of dollars, and frankly, with very little risk of being caught.

These guys had no clue about how the "system" functioned and were able to do it. I have a pretty intimate understanding of it, and if I chose to do so could easily scam them for 10s of millions and be in Brazil before they knew it.

What the person who is in charge of preventing this doesn't understand is that more difficult enrollment does not solve the problem. You actually have to have a reasonable process of reviewing claims.
