re: Pain cream scandal in Hattiesburg is going nationwide

If you followed the 2012 Hattiesburg mayoral race you'd know what I was talking about. Just incredibly biased. I made a passing Facebook comment about it and the guy running it sent me private messages telling me to "go the frick back to Louisiana." Not exactly journalistic integrity.

I did follow it. I didn't see much bias--mostly reporting of facts and calling bad behavior out. And he's not exactly a journalist. He's a whistleblower/blogger. He seems to fill an important role in that city.

I'd argue that fleecing giant insurance companies is less harmful to communities than armed robbery and burglary though.

Crime is crime.
I wish these white collar criminals would get the full extent of the law and punishment, like 10-20 years in a state prison, as opposed to light sentences in federal country club prisons.

I don't give a frick how much somebody's clothes cost. I do give a frick if someone bought ridiculous shite by fricking over innocent people for huge profit.

You're right, it's not. The news in Hattiesburg won't cover it (so I'm told) until the indictments come down.

Sorry

That's moronic.


If someone smokes a doobie it isn't anywhere in the same vicinity of beating up an elderly woman for her silverware.


Both are "crimes"

What's with the negative waves?

Then get paid by insurance 1200, 2500, 3500 dollars per bottle or tube depending on size and use

BUT Obamacare was supposed to fix these type of shenanigans.

I am familiar with this topic, and I agree that it's on rocky moral ground, but on the other hand I doubt anyone goes down hard for this. Pain creams actually work for patients, if Medicare and other insurance companies were set up for these payments to be made then so be it. There's plenty of options physicians can choose from to help patients, if this option helps a patient and pays them well, then it's going to be hard to stop that until the payments aren't there anymore. More of our tax dollars being abused by our wonderful government. Hope and change people. Hope and change.

These scumbags can rot in prison.
