One of the home health agencies I worked for in the mid 90s, ended up being investigated and shut down because of fraud - the owner of the company lived and had most of his agencies in Florida. Must be something in the Florida air that causes these so called doctors to do what they can to scam the system. No way could a doctor do 20 million worth of work - no way. And, to read that he was using a medication that gave a nice kick-back to the prescribing doctor AND this doctor gave a nice donation to the democratic party --- something very wrong with this picture.

This is why our Medicare, even our medical situation will NEVER be resolved - too much greed. Here, our agency in Cleveland can barely get approval for our little seniors to get a weekly visit from a nurse or get a CNA to come give them a bath - the insurance companies limit what we can approve. I have a patient that could use a bath twice a week because he's incontinent, but his insurance company will only let him have a CNA 1 time a week. Yet these asshole doctors bill Medicare 20 million and actually get by with it.

What is wrong with this picture.


Medicare being ripped off by doctors Political Ties of Top Billers for Medicare

I'm trying to find the list that shows the political party of all these overpaid doctors, haven't found it yet. 

I think it was better back when you could pay the doctor with a chicken! 

It was better even when you could pay a doctor with actual cash. Somewhere they system went terribly astray. Somewhere the system stopped working for the people it was suppose to benefit.

I just do not understand how it got to this point.
