Weve had a lot of that in s. fla too, especially Miami. Then there was the FEMA fraud this year. It was SO OBVIOUS to US since we were 60 miles NORTH of Miami, yet THEY claimed all this hurricane damage when they were not even in the hurricane. Yet, the stupid Govt paid them off, now they are investigating for fraud. I bet little gets refunded and little jail time. Beats robbing banks I guess. jdn

<<A few years ago a doctor near where I was then living was arrested for fraud. I don't even want to say how much phony billing he did.>> Wife went to a GYN once years ago. Never went back. 8 years later she had a badly broken knee and was in the hospital, every morning a lady doctor, not the one treating her, looked at her chart. She asked her surgeon about it and this woman doc worked for the GYN and charged $80 for looking at my wife's chart every day. The practice hired this doc to look at hospital records and anyone who had ever been in their clinic was still considered a patient so they billed $80 per patient to look at the charts even if they weren't involved.
