You're kidding yourself if you think it's Medicare fraud that's
the real problem in the healthcare industry ...Medicare isn't
the one blowing up the costs of healthcare...even with some
fraud being perpetrated...the FRAUD comes from the hospitals
that are charging 1.50 per generic aspirin when you can buy 100
for a dollar...charging 7.00 for the little alcohol swab they
wipe your arm with before an injection when you can buy a box of
100 for 2.00..Charging 20,000 for a procedure that medicare will
pay only 2,000 for....Medicare actually tells the hospital and
doctor what they'll pay...and it's a mere FRACTION of what
regular insured or uninsnured folks pay.
