This is such a great story. I mean that in the journalistic sense — blowing the whistle on Medicare fraud.
Here's my favorite graph, to whet your appetite:
" ... A Florida businessman was sentenced last year to 37 months in prison for submitting more than $5.5 million of fake claims to Medicare. The businessman operated for months, despite giving the agency an address that was actually a utility closet."
Not only is it shocking about the closet, but that the guy got only 37 months. Justice, HELLO?! are you there?
P.S. Shown in photo, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said an inquiry could follow the allegations.

Wow, that story is truly infuriating. Everyone should click the story link in your blog and read the entire thing. Medicare is a great program but we must cut out fraud. Of course there will always be some people who steal, but surely we can reduce those numbers significantly.
