There's millions of reasons why Sen Schumer (Dem-NY) is celebrating the defeat of the Obamacare repeal.

A Massive Healthcare Fraud Ring In Brooklyn
by Russian constituents of Sen Charles Schumer
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 documennts 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.

STORY SOURCE: MEDICAID FRAUD IN BRIGHTON BEACH, BROOKLYN

=====================================================

NOTES---What’s remarkable here is just how unremarkable the story is, coming, as it does, out of Sen Schumer's district-----the Russian-centric Brighton Beach, Brooklyn.

Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, is 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 the two programs), shows that more health care providers in the Brighton Beach ZIP code.....Sen Schumer's district..... are currently barred from then-current healthcare programs for malfeasance than in almost any other ZIP code in the United States.

Thanks to Sen Schumer, Obamacare is theirs for the taking.

They were bilking 'health insurance' rather than 'doctor yacht care' or 'hospital mansion care'? Or even 're-elect the lying congressman care'?

Liz: That's real interesting. It would've only taken one of "our" US Senators to bring that up. It then would've been tough for Murkowski and Collins to keep up their tyranny. McCain? He doesn't give a damn; he's only out to destroy the nation and the President whom he perceives as not giving him everything he thinks he deserves.

JMHO

An extraordinary “tell” that Schumer + something smells.

Russian collusion in healthcare!

C’mon Chuckie Schmuky, let’s open up a separate investigation into a new Russian collusion category.

Trump will back you up on that one...

Nice find, Liz.
