’60 Minutes’ Medicare Fraud: ‘Troubling questions about our government’s ability to manage a medical bureaucracy’

October 26, 2009

NewsBusters has a partial transcript as well as Andy Rooney’s rant about the cost of medical bills.

It’s easy to rip off the government. Private insurance companies have systems in place to detect fraud. Some people are profiting from government health care – crooks. And if ObummerCare is going to be paid for by doing away with waste and fraud in Medicare – why aren’t they doing it already?

Karen,
Get off Borat’s back! He will give a speech that is endorsed by 9 out of 10 teleprompters and all those who would defraud Medicare will be charmed into stopping their criminal ways, and give back the money they have stolen!

P.S.
Isn’t there a community organization that could provide oversight to the Medicare fraud oversight division? That’s the the ticket!!!!!

I work for a non-profit community healthcare organization. It’s no surprise that peeps game the system.
MOST clinician are VERY liberal.
When I suggested maybe 10% “Work the System” the responses I got indicated that they felt the % is much higher.
