All of us are vitally interested in assuring good medical care. It’s important. It’s also expensive, whether we pay for it directly, through employer or private insurance, or through huge taxpayer-financed government programs.
We want everyone to have whatever good medical care is really needed. But there unfortunately are many medical scams.
There are stories in the newspaper from time to time about varied health-care frauds. One recent report said there were 94 cases involving Medicare scams totaling a quarter of a billion dollars!
We want sound medical programs with reasonable financing. But medical scams cost all of us, and do not improve our health.
We need to be on watch against medical scams and support law enforcement efforts against the crooks.
