. If you have a perfect storm where the customer has no idea what they need and no one knows what anything costs it is a ready made situation rife for fraudulent activity.


The fee for service payment system is one of the biggest fraudulent payment systems in the entire country.

Even giving the health care industry the benefit of the doubt the room for era alone would create far to many opportunities for good intentioned mistakes to be made...because no one has any idea what is being done and what anything costs. Most people do not have any idea what their insurance costs them...they know what is withheld from their salary but what their employer is paying on their behalf (which is part of their salary also) they have no idea...many do not even know there is anything more being paid. If you sold gasoline in the same manner it would cost $12 a gallon....
