Obamacare 80/20 Rule Pays Off Big For California

republicans appear to be assuming that it's the poor who are abusing the system.

That is complete bs.

The people who are abusing the system are the medical professionals and health systems. They are the ones sending the bills to the government. They are the ones falsifying records. They are the ones bilking the system.

The poor can't even get simple treatments, yet they get blamed for "stealing" "republican's" money. Meanwhile, the medical professionals bilk the system for as much as they can get.

republicans want to prevent waste? Demand that more investigators be hired to vet the medical professionals claims.

Right now investigators are understaffed, IMO. They probably only investigate when "red flags" are spotted, like a sudden rise in claims. But, if these professionals have been bilking the system since day one, they may not raise any red flags to trigger an investigation. Matching patient names with a database would help, not sure if they do that now. If a patient appears on a doc's claim, but lives five hundred miles away, red flag. If there is no such patient known to exist, red flag. Etc.

 

It is the Democrats who are in charge. Obama runs that department, not the Republicans, but then he also runs the IRS.

BTW, the last time I checked, Medicare/Medicaid fraud was a crime. It is up to Holder to persue crime. Where do the Republican enter this picture.

 

That's a lot of maybes.

 

Republicans don't investigate their own. They simply elect them as governors.

 

Holder is a Republican? If he is, I plan on leaving this place.

 

Coming from someone who considers 36 million dollars a big time payout in relation to a state as large as California; I understand how you could come to the above conclusion. I count only 1 but you can call that a lot if you want to.

 

Again, more cold water. I'm sorry that good news offends you so much. I hear that one the Asian car manufacturing companies developed a car that gets 400 miles to the tank full of.....hydrogen. This car could actually be affordable over the next couple of years for the average consumer. I know.., more bad news but at least this news came with it's own cold water or hydrogen.

 

The good news is that there is $60B out there that could be recovered (plus another probably $200B when Obamacare kicks in). The bad news is that Obama is president and he want to spend more.
