Of course, this sort of activity will cease once we have top-down run Single Payer medical care.
The sort of activity that will cease will be the prosecution of corruption, not the corruption itself!
REFERENCE---A Medicaid Fraud Ring In Brooklyn by Russian Refugee Constituents of Sen Charles Schumer (Dem-NY)
By Julia Ioffe, NY Magazine, published March 2, 2012
In March 2012, thirty-six Russians---Soviet immigrants----were arrested in Brooklyn, New York for plotting to bilk US health-insurance companies out of a quarter of a billion tax dollars. The plot, according to the NY Times, involved ten doctors, nine clinics, and a hundred and five corporations: “The ring falsified official US govt documents demanding tax dollars----reimbursements for a mountain of excessive and unnecessary medical treatments that were never done. The Russian fraudsters were so brazen that they already had in-place three separate billing-processing companies just to handle the paperwork.....to get the tax dollars into their greedy hands faster.

=====================================================
NOTES---What’s remarkable here is just how unremarkable the story is, coming, as it does, out of Sen Schumer's district-----the Russia-centric Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. Famous for its Russian delicacies, entertainment, a population of highly-inflected Russian dialects, but mostly for its concentration of insurance fraud.
The NY Times reports, “Brighton Beach has one of the highest rates of health care fraud in the nation, according to federal statistics.
An analysis from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (agency regulates those two programs), shows that more health care providers in the Brighton Beach ZIP code are currently barred from the programs for malfeasance than in almost any other ZIP code in the United States.
