I posted this link a couple days ago but I see it never reached the board.

There are a tiny number of cases that have nothing to do with healthcare; however most of the cases on this list (2007) are directly related to the “healthcare industryâ€? defrauding the government.

This just the number of hits you get on a particular search phrase. It's like putting in "real UFOs" and claiming that the huge number of hits proves the existence of Martians.

Your article isn't about fraudulent claims by "the health care industry." It is about fraudulent claims by criminals and patients. Drmatt, you haven’t provided a link supporting your assertion, so I’ll ignore it until you produce some actual data. Marc.

You must lead a very sheltered life.

‘Fraudulent Medicare claims estimated at between $300 million and $400 million were prosecuted in just two South Florida counties in the past year’

‘There’s a nationwide crime epidemic going on that rakes in $35 billion or more each year.’

However, I know of no evidence that "the healthcare industry" has defrauded the government. Occasionally, you get crooks in any industry (and the government itself is no stranger to corruption), but that doesn't excuse her insinuation that the entire system is a giant gang of criminals.
