Fugitives suspected of Medicare fraud
Medicare fraud costs taxpayers billions
Whenever Alexander McCray lights up his crack pipe, U.S. taxpayers help pay for his habit.
McCray has defrauded Medicare by selling his government-issued health card number to private clinics in exchange for kickbacks of $150 to $300 a visit -- as often as three times a day, three times a week over seven years, according to federal records and his own admission.

Only 60 Billion? I think that figure is under estimated.
I think that was just for Florida - I'd have to re-read the article to say for sure... :-\
For there to be that much fraud the government has to be in on it. Add this to the list of programs that need to be cancled.
hi scott,
good choice for the list. i wonder if the list will ever stop growing? BTW, i just listened to the obama speech here in lansing, mi. and he said all the right things to the people in the auditorium about michigans state of affairs. could be our next prez. hang on!
I do not support either candidate, but I find this interesting:

They always say all the right things. But it's what they do that counts. They almost never do what they say. I'm not voting for either one of the two clowns.
