[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 864509, member: 1944"] When they talk about cutting, why not start where you know there is [B]FRAUD? [/B]A small area it may be But it is fraud. Why spend it? I know of doctors offices who have signs posted....1 visit per [B]week, [/B]for medicaid patients. Who goes to the doctor every week? Even my sick father with heart trouble, parkinsons, etc, old people problems, only went once every three months. How about the woman who calls an ambulance once a week or more, for one of her many children or herself. Do you realize an ambulance bill is usually 400 bucks before it pulls out of base? And yup we are paying for it. Instead of having 15,000 more [B]IRS [/B]workers out there examining our orifaces to see if we illegally took a tax deduction...why not put them at the door of a grocery store to examine the carts of the [B]poor?. [/B]How about ambulance dispatchers being held to some kind of guideline on when to send an ambulance, and if it is not indeed an emergency, the cost should be on the caller, not me. That does not require government intervention, it requires common sense. I know if I have tests not ordered, or necessary, I must pay. Why dont they? overdose, broken arm, seizure, yup ambulance on the way. Runny nose, scraped knee, nope. Who and how do we fund medicaid? Why do people who never paid a dime get to collect, while others I have seen and known, fight for yrs for measly payments. I remember them telling me that I should divorce my husband then he could get SSI, and medicaid, and food stamps. No question. otherwise it will be years before his disability will come through. I said, keep it. Something is terribly wrong, and it did not start with Obama, but he is sure encouraging it. [/QUOTE]
