Somehow the files got erased and the Doctos got paid.
Thats an awful lot of waste , but most people think that its a free system.
Not a chance that money comes from the same cash cow, the over taxed Middle Class.
The Poor cant pay, and The Rich have accountants.
Thanks Gary. I just heard news of a group of doctors and others getting busted here for the same sort of thing: fraudulent billing of Medicare for dubious charges.

No matter what system or where, there will always be greedy people trying to cash in on it.
