Fraud in Medicare


An automatic deduction is taken from SSD & SS benefit for medical coverage. With each increase medicare costs rise, yet the medical profession continues it's abuse, ie;, over billings, unnecessary treatments, taking jobs away from people that are non medical. By creating programs that do nothing for the disabled or elderly, only providing salaries for nurses with nothing else to do except paperwork. Yet we disabled and elderly are expected to pay 20% these bills, simply because Medicare has accepted and paid the 80%. Pennsylvania, 2nd laragest elderly populated state, has filed charges against both insurance companies and the medical professions. What is happening in other states to stop this? There is a problem with Medicare, but it is sure not perpetrated by those of us who need it.
