60 Minutes Tonight - Health Care Fraud

Medicare fraud is costing this country more than $60 billion a year and very little is done to stop this fraud. Watching this program tonight made me ill; this widespread and easy defrauding of the taxpayer, should make most of us ill.

The government can't run Medicare and Medicaid, can't run Amtrak, can't run the Post Office, can't run veteran's health care, can't maintain our highways, etc., why in the world would any sane person want the government to run a national health care system?

As Andy Rooney said tonight, they all cheat, the government, the hospitals, the insurance companies, many of the doctors and many of the patients.

So sad.
