Medicaid Fraud Humor
I don’t know why this made me laugh but it did:
Federal authorities have accused New York City officials of a five-year effort to defraud Medicaid, working with a contractor to exploit loopholes in Medicaid’s computerized billing system to collect reimbursements that amounted to tens of millions of dollars.
Basically, the healthcare system is so broken right now that bureaucrats are stealing from each other! You know what they say, the enemy of my enemy are still my enemies.
And like every other lousy idea from the 20th Century – eg. social security – both sides of the aisle keep bleating that this will really work if the right people are in charge. This crap will always have huge systemic problems because centralized compassion is a bad idea.
