Oh, yeah. I know.
Another scam is people who are the official caregivers of their aged or infirm relatives get their social security checks.
They get tired of doing the heavy load and admit their relatives all the time. The Mexicans are great for this.
The father or mother can’t walk, can’t feed themselves, have Alzheimers, etc.
They admit them ‘they fell down’ we don’t know what to do, why are they falling. Ensues is a complete medical workup. A couple of weeks in the hospital often.
They are advised to place these people in proper care settings, but oh no, they would lose the social security, so....’can’t do that to dear old mom or dad’
they take them home and readmit them to another hospital only a day later, same day, next week whatever,
and the money keeps coming in and the relative is out of their hands.
Your stories make me want to cry. I bet you’ve got a thousand more. A couple of weeks in the hospital? The cost has got to be enormous. My little girl was in the hospital Memorial week for three days. The cost was over $17,000 before the insurance whittled it down to $10K.
. . . and the money keeps coming in and the relative is out of their hands.
Follow the money.
