There are bigger ones than that out there.
We shouldn’t jump to conclusions,
...aaaand they’re Democrats.
But we need more money and even more government control to fix this...
the biggest scam is Medicare itself.
This bunch of immigrants was just trying to make it in America, doncha know. Unfortunately, they didn’t donate enough of their ill-gotten gains to the Clinton Family Crime Syndicate and the DNC, something Soros is careful to do. He will not be investigated by the FBI....unlessTrump is elected.
The nod, wink it burns.
I wonder what gov. Rick Scott thinks about this?

Hope Hillary cashed the campaign donation fast.
Fraud busting was a component of R healthcare reform proposal in the 90’s. Along with waste reduction, tort reform, choice, medical IRAs, streamlining, etc.
There is a sickening amount of fraud and waste in government programs. Absolutely sickening. It’s not just medicare either although that seems to be the easiest one to scam. Social security fraud, welfare fraud, day care programs, student loans, disability fraud, unemployment, section 8 housing, military procurement, government grants, and far more. This is easily hundreds of billions of dollars each year.
Authorities just recently were told the suspects had complimented Trump and an investigation was launched.
$1 Billion divided by 20 (facilities) divided by 14 (years) equals more than $3.5 million in illegal charges per facility per year, about half of which was approved and paid. That’s a lot of fraud.
This guy is probably guilty as sin - but the right of the government to determine after the fact that a Medicare service was "not necessary" is subject to a constantly changing mass of confusing and sometimes contradictory rules that put every provider at risk every day.
Services that were charged but not performed are easy to understand, easy to prove, and easy to prosecute. That's "hard" Medicare fraud.
Services that were charged, but were "not necessary"? That's another matter entirely.
