The corrosive connection between donations to the Democrat political machine and ones profession comes into glaring focus with the revelation that Pakistani American doctor Asad Qamar gave that party a whopping $450,000 while pulling in the highest total of Medicare reimbursements of any U.S. cardiologist. This man received the highest reimbursement of cardiologists all over the U.S. in Medicare reimbursement money during 2012. His practice, located in four Florida counties, is based in Ocala and raked in $18.2 million in one of Medicares largest fraud scandals to date.
Whistleblowers started the Doctors fall from Americas medical gravy train with legal action involving defrauding the governmentread U.S. taxpayers.

Politicians want Medicare fraud to continue. All it would take to stop billions in fraud would be setting standards for how much the various types of physicians can bill per quarter. Anything over an established level should trigger an immediate suspension of payments, pending thorough investigation. For payment, Medicare services already must be submitted under a doctor’s unique account number. No reason every bill can’t be totaled continuously. No new data required.

He should then be deported back to where he came from.
