re: Zachary lab owner faces Medicare, Medicaid fraud charges

Health Care provides that defraud Medicare and Medicaid should be tossed in prison for LOOOOOONNNNNNGGGG sentences and non-violent drug offenders released. The damage done to society by the former is far greater than that done by the latter. The problem is there probably wouldn't be but about 5% of providers left in the country....the other 95% would be in jail

Home health is a huge scam in the hood. I know of a few specific cases in my area. The families live in huge two story houses and they have several luxury cars and suvs. They defrauded the govt for God knows how much. None of the family works, they have a ton of adult kids and they just bill the elderly but never do anything for the patients. They give a small kickback to patients family and dint show up for the work. Got caught, none of them did jail time and probably only paid back maybe 10% of what they stole. Probably less.
