Yeah - yeah - that's right.
We still be tight.
Democrats support philanthropic work and give religious freedom?
This guy is smoking too much compounded substance.
follow the money.
Someone please check if this creature has anything - whatsoever - to do with Ameridose.
What does Ahmed get for his money? And what is a Muslim man doing hanging out with men of questionable sexual preference such as Barry Soetero and George Clooney?
Jeez...I thought it said...The Free Bacon.

How interesting. It appears in reading this article that Mr. Ahmed has earned much of his millions by scamming the California Workman’s Compensation Insurance system, when he isn’t creating snake oil out of legitimate drugs. I’m guessing that, if Obamacare goes into full swing, this “gentleman” and his company will have the inside track on generating billings and some serious dollars therefrom.
A real stand up guy, this Ahmed. Just the kind of slime I’d expect to be putting up big bucks for Barry.
SCARY!!
Yeah - yeah - that's right.
We still be tight.
Hardraade: re Ameridose -— no search has paired the two names.
Ahmed made his fortune through a billing operation for California’s workers compensation system, as well as through controversial, unregulated “compound” drugs in the form of pain creams that are altered, mixed, or combined from established medicines. Compound drugs are more expensive than established pharmaceuticals and Ahmed’s arrival on California’s insurance scene led to an 800 percent increase in the state’s use of compounds. He later spent thousands of dollars to water down legislation aimed at limiting the practice.

Landmark Medical Management, which experts and officials in California say is among several that have made millions of dollars over the past few years by capitalizing on a peculiar and newly carved-out corner of the state’s workers’ compensation system.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Landmark purchases account receivables from medical providers who prescribe compound topical analgesics — pain creams — to workers’ compensation patients, and makes its money by collecting from the insurance companies who owed on those accounts. The workers’ compensation system in California is so choked up with payment disputes that it can take months for a provider to be reimbursed by insurance companies for a service. The way Ahmed sees it, his company creates “liquidity” in the system by purchasing account receivables from doctors and getting them paid quicker. By his own account, he has also taken on a role promoting the medical practices he profits from.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are at least six companies tied to Ahmed that are registered to various suites in the same building as Landmark:
HNW Consulting Inc.,
Healthcare Finance Management LLC,
Med-Rx Funding LLC,
Physician Funding Solutions LLC,
Pharmafinance LLC, and
RX Funding Solutions LLC.
The functions of these companies are unclear. All were formed since 2005, and not one currently has a website (neither does Landmark). Landmark is the only one of Ahmed’s companies that appears on the The Inland Atrium’s wall directory. A former Landmark executive suggested to me that several of the companies are used as holding companies for liability and tax reasons.

Ahmed is also a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, an Islamic movement founded in the late 1800s in India by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, who the community holds to be the messiah. Ahmed expressed great pride in having helped organize a visit of the Ahmadiyya community’s current spiritual leader, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, to Congress in late June, when Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) recognized Ahmed by name during remarks from the House floor.
