Exactly l had insurance and a pre existing condition of stenosis and scoliosis and didn't have a 1,700 dollar copay for a Dr. ordered scan to see how much worse thing's had gotten. Needless to say l left the hospital with no help and to date still deal with the condition. I asked for help and I've had to take crap job's because of my condition. This definitely hits home for me personally.@ Corey Ashley
Man , jail for 12 years , that guy most likely got out already for good behavior reduced sentence, and got the rest of his cash he hid deep in the bunnies lol 😂 he’s gone with the cash stash for sure
Did you know veterans are suppose to get certain benefits and when they fought in the passed 20 years laters they took all benefits away from them i seen this happen to a friend of mine who wanted to get a houxe he was in the service for 4 ywears and when he applied they refused to give it to him he was entitled for it florida took alot of veterans benefits away which is very wrong
Yet I had to pay $2700 out of pocket due to high deductible insurance provided by my company when I fractured my wrist then visited ER, the Dr wrapped my wrist and gave me pain killer. I simply not qualified for Medicaid because I make"too much" money as regular blue collar worker. I didn't wanton see Dr last week when I had sore throat and coughing my lungs out because it will cost me over a hundred out of pocket. And I have friend who is visiting nurse told me he went to see this patient who has Medicaid yet lives in penthouse in a building of Manhattan, the living room so huge that they put a grand piano in the center. How the heck people like that can get free medical and I have to avoid Dr after I pay thousands a year for medical insurance? What's wrong of this country?
My wife has to go to a pain management doctor. She is required to take monthly urinalysis tests in order to get her prescription for an opioid. They send the sample out for tests to an outside lab. My wife pays a deductible PLUS a 'co-insurance' payment for the testing. One day we got a bill in the mail from the lab that does the testing for four months of testing. Total cost? $20,000!!!! Turns out, the lab was inflating the cost 1500 percent because the insurance companies would only settle to pay 15% and since they paid we were not obligated to pay any more. I told them to stick their bills and reported them to the State Attorney General. They are no longer in business but had they not gotten so greedy who knows how many clueless seniors they might have continued to scam.
The penalty should be pegged to the amount f money defrauded by the individuals. So the more "successful" they are the higher the penalty and jail time and whatever else the courts can dish out.
You see how humans treat one another? “It’s not A.I. committing fraud it’s the humans.” That’s how it’ll be sold. And from speeding cars to cops killings of unarmed humans, are all data for these corporations. A.I. will be sold at the cost of human ego and greed.
The people who really suffer are the people that really need good medical equipment , instead they get denied or are given the cheapest . The fraud penalties need to be increased and those in the supply chain.
I think this documentry is anti-semitic as many families rely on metioned companies, maybe business owners are taking a little advantage of medicare and midicade but 1-it's not private sector money and thier kids rely on this
I used to work for an insurance company in the medicare supplement/medicare advantage plans division and almost all claims calls from "providers" were for dme... and a lot of times i got calls from patients who got billed for dme that they didn't even need or got in the first place, this explains a lot.
The "providers" change their name all the time and choose different names for different states. Trilogy. Community Research Foundation .They are the same group but both keep changing their websites and names to avoid detection and accountability. Must be fun for the IRS😅
As a person who has used social services funded by tax payers, this makes my blood boil too. At sometime in your life, you might legitimately, absolutely NEED these services…and here are people stealing that tax payer money. 😡
GOP Senator Rick Scott should be in this video. He was CEO of Columbia/HCA when they defrauded Medicare, Medicaid etc. They were fined $1.7billion but Rick Scott left with $300 million in stock, a $5.1 million severance, and a $950,000-per-year consulting contract for five years.
Most rich criminals are never caught. As this video notes... you only hear about a TINY, TINY, INFINITESIMALLY small percentage. And all those gobs and gobs of illegal dollars can be spent to make shady ops even more untouchable. ;) That's the system, baby! If it doesn't make dollars, then it doesn't make sense. If I had millions, I'd probably be forced to become corrupt JUST TO *SURVIVE*. Otherwise, trust me, the cartels, mafia, or yakuza would definitely wreck me, lol. Seriously, though. People need to be aware of those who are in CONTROL. Pro tip: it ain't the "governments" of any given country.
The Republicans who keep calling for the complete dismantlement of Medicare/Medicaid _are_ the same Republicans who benefitted handsomely for defrauding Medicare/Medicaid. Can't wait for a suffocating horde of "enlightened centrist" fake TH-cam user account trolls to mass-accuse us for being the real trolls, smear us for being libs, cite this as the reason Medicare/Medicaid must be cancelled, and still claim with a straight face that _they_ - the people committing the very fraud - are the unsung heroes in this story.
Yes and now he is a SENATOR from Florida HE was elected Governor after this happened. He took the 5th 75 times!! Now He has a pamphlet out to "sunset" Medicare and social security
Guessing that the doctors are approached by the fraudsters and given incentives to steer business to the fraudsters for kickbacks. The legit patients are directed to the legit DME providers. Doctors can be greedy a-holes too. And if the doctors are ethical, that does not mean his employees with access to private patient data can not be bribed to give those patient information to the scammers. Just brainstorming how fraudsters can get their hands on real patient info, without going to the dark web.
It sounds like we need to greatly increase the penalty for defrauding the Medicaid program. Turning that 12 year prison sentence to 25 might be a good start. Seizing property, like that guys home where he buried the money wouldn't be bad either.
Absolutely.. because are they really going to serve all 12... Get out for good behavior... I hope that they are prohibited from owning a business ever and they should do community service when they get out as part of their probation and have to keep paying money back for the rest of their lives because they took over a system where they've really taken away from the children and adults that need medical supplies right now because they're sickly... Not including the people who are healthy now but will also be in need one day 😭
@@chriswoods662 Can't say I'm aware of the facts beyond this video. I'd love to see the legal system changed where if large sums of money aren't/or can't be recovered that they add 5 years per million dollars to the eventual sentence. Love to see them seize all the property too in an attempt to lower the financial losses.
This right here is why the government needs to nationalize healthcare. Anytime you get private companies able to take government money for services, you get a high potential for fraud or abuse.
That new diabetic drug that is in demand for weight loss? A Dr. reg. to do practice in New Brunswick scammed hundreds of thousands of doses (he's in Boston). Canada DID jump on it and revoke his NB license. But scammers will attempt to scam. He pulled legally a half million bonus.
It's been this way for years, including within clinics. These are not the only people doing it, and hopefully this story breaks into wider curiosities, and findings.
Don't forget private ambulance companies and their rackets. They are one of the worst perpetrators of this and have the nerve to pay their employees next to nothing.
It's true. I tried to trace one company and wound up in the Netherlands. They had a "guarantee" every year no regardless of how many calls to receive $16 million dollars.
I am currently doing my MBA in Healthcare Management at Temple University. In one of my classes, we discussed about Healthcare fraud and it became apparent that MEDICARE and MEDICAID were VERY prone to fraud.
Why your healthcare in us is not free compare to other countries i know its tax payers money? The us is the biggest budget in healthcare per capita compare all over the world. Wheres the money going?
@@carloconopio6513 The AMerican Healthcare system is very complex. From payers to Providers to the middle man, eveything is very complex which is one of the reasons why we spend a lot on healthcare
Medicare should create a department where their representatives have to go out to the physical DME location to check it out before payment is rendered.
Medicare and Medicaid do have fraud government auditor teams to verify yearly expenditure. However for law enforcement to really get involved would require probably millions of dollars lost already before legal actions are taken.
@@daddy-orockstarmunchabunch3568 it could be dealt with on the authorization side (ins companies) approve these services & rates are fed/state set ( by demographics) ...once approved that money is gone....*they need a way to stop it on the front end...but idk how
Medicare (and Medicaid) should have current addresses, phone numbers and email adressses of Medicare and Medicaid patient/members. When a DME is ordered on the patient/members' behalf, a letter/phone call/email should be sent to the patient to confirm the order and if not confirmed or if denied, go after the provider.
The problem is that there's a million "DME" like scams. There's a lot this piece leaves out. Like the fact that this is a nationwide problem in every state with a "panhandle." They are only targeting vulnerable and marginalized populations of people who are on Medicare. They also make sure nobody lives to tell the story. They either murder you or make you a vegetable. The hospitals doing this are rated #1 tops in the country.
@@thevinceberry I'm confused as to why these people are not charged with conspiracy as well which is a mandatory 20 yr minimum. They seem to be running a criminal operation of their own volition and by their own will....
Only sentence to 12,5 years? Seriously? And someone will be sentenced for more than 12.5 years for less than $50. SMH . This judicial system is discriminatory. What a shame
12x is too good of a return for the investigators. The problem is obviously too large for the current force to handle. They should hire more investigators immediately and get that number down.
@@vladrazym9955 no, they return $12 for every $1 spent on enforcement, and they spent only 2 cents for every $100 they spent. In other words, for every $100 dollars that HHS spent, they return about 24cents.
While Medicare and Medicaid is cutting reimbursements to hard working physicians making it difficult for practices to survive , these people are getting away with all that money
crooked Doctors are probably only a small portion, could be negligent disposal of documents but what I think is the biggest reason are breaches in a doctor's computer network

They are only targeting vulnerable and marginalized populations of people who are on Medicare. They also make sure nobody lives to tell the story. They either murder you or make you a vegetable. The hospitals doing this are rated #1 tops in the country. McLean hospital is one. Massachusetts General Hospital is another. "Public Research Hospitals." They rank big because they take a lot of NIH money. All research published is required to demonstrate written permission from the patients in the study. They claim that they have it and in fact they don't. People claim that public research hospitals don't exist in this country. They are stealing from patients and experimenting on them without consent. They do it to everybody now not just "the bad people." Everybody getting cancer treatment is being experimented on by big pharma. I find their stories all the time in the research.
Would be so easy to prevent (nearly) all of this: require photo ID and a signature from the supposed recipient of the medical treatment. Or have them login to a Medicare site (just like an IRS login). Could include 2 factor authentication with their registered number and require a licensed medical doctor's authorization.
I'm sitting here waiting for surgery paid by Medicaid. Heptorenal ‐ hopefully I can get a transplant. Its crazy people are getting away with this. I have to make sure I have an ID and fill out 100 forms. Someone might be trying to use mine but were denied.
They can't because Democrats are against the use of IDs due to the belief minorities are too incompetent to be expected to have an ID. Looking at their constant push to prevent voter ID
Theres people like this ruining lives en mass yet I see people every day getting pulled over for doing 75 in a 70 just commuting to their mundane day job.
It seems quite a simple solution... to show Medicare recipients a quarterly or monthly explanation of benefits and on it, show a number or website to contact to report fraudulent charges. Incentivize their reporting. They'll get a certain set amount for each firm that they report that turns out to be fraudulent.
I get 2-3 calks a month from some people (from "pain management" to saying they are Medicare) wanting to send me something my doctor prescribed. As I get all medical care from the VA. I hang up. so no place or website to contact to report fraudulent charges.
Now add to that how Medicare is billed for services never rendered, nickel and dime amounts, and once reported with evidence, nothing happens other than Medicare continues to be billed for treatment never performed.
That kind of incentivazation could backfire too. Medicaid or Medicare recipients may be cash strapped and could start reporting legitimate businesses as fraudulent just to collect the reward.
A lot of the stealing below begins with the help of homeless shelters and social services throughout the U.S. Some property owners (who receive the government funds from tenants) and government officials are involved with this theft.
Why do we pay taxes when the government just throws them out to crooks? Sure the crooks needs to be charged, but the higher ups at Medicare etc also needs to take responsibility. Put their jobs at risk and see how high they jump.
You're asking accountants to be doctors. And THAT is the fundamental problem. Making profits in a capitalistic society is antithetical to "do no harm".
@Jeff Caplan Nonsense. Why can the for profit insurance companies sniff out fraud, but a government run program cannot. The government hires inept workers and has no fraud detection measures. We need less government.
Some years ago a finger cut sent me to the ER. Despite only needing wound dressing, I was billed $2700. An other doctor looked at my finger for 2-3 seconds which resulted in an extra charge of $285. The experience left me very skeptical of the medical system.
@CW The funniest part is that most countries do have private healthcare as well - the public sector in most of the world is chronically underfunded, leading to long waiting times and sometimes also occasionally questionable quality. But the very existence of said public sector sets up a bottom line - the private sector needs to justify its existence by providing the extra service (faster and/or better quality) at prices that people would be willing to pay. In USA the healthcare and health insurance industries basically keep the population hostage - and this imbalance of power lets them set prices and engage in practices that would never fly elsewhere. In Europe, if you have some money, you probably want to get private insurance (higher end jobs tend to include it in benefits package) and you'll mostly be using private healthcare, but the combined contribution to public healthcare you don't use and private you do use will still give you better value for money than the insurance in USA. The one exception is if you are REALLY loaded, because the top level best-money-can-buy care in USA usually is really the best-money-can-buy of the world. Then again, if you're that loaded elsewhere, you'll probably be able to use the US (or wherever the best care for your specific problem happens to be) healthcare anyway - borders aren't much of a problem for the rich.
@CW thank god for being canadian. i went to ER once when i was a kid and didnt have to pay a dime. only bad thing is... if you need surgery and it isnt an emergency you have to wait MONTHS. like my mom needed surgery to reduce pressure in her eyes so she can see... she waited 4-5 months.
3 weeks ago, I was referred to see a very young cardiologist, he talked to me for 3 min, sent me to do stress test 😡 don't even pretend to check properly
12 years isn't enough jail time for the fraudster. Give them longer sentences, so they will think twice before agreeing to participate in the illegal business.
Medicare and Medicaid government workers should be held accountable for allowing for this obvious nonsense. There is no reason why invoices cannot be checked before payment with proof of services, patient confirmation, pricing audits, and revisions of services actually needed for goal of efficiency of servicea.
@wild_taco_ gone crazy corona several reasons from drug prices to the agreements that insurance companies have with health services. They make up an insanely high price knowing that insurance will pay a fraction of list price so they overbill at inflated prices. Also, sales ppl who refer ppl with insurance to rehabs across this country get 25%-40% of what the rehab charges for referring them, and logistically getting them there by booking a flight. Companies like ACA in Nashville are part of the reason a rehab costs $2,000 PER DAY for the bed + the health care. That kind of thing is why hospitals charge twenty two dollars for an aspirin. Our system is broken and people are getting rich exploiting it.
I've worked my whole life, went to college, have a degree, was unemployed, went back to school, for a technical diploma, and had to find a job, because it wouldn't work. Anyways, I'm on Medical Assistance, because of medical problems and inability to get medical insurance. So, now I'm forced to take part-time. I'd love to find these people, and make them really on Medical Assistance. But, it would be permanent.
I went to a dentist for routine teeth cleaning. Instead of just cleaning my teeth, they wanted to do a deep cleaning, and more, to get all the $2000 Medicare Advantage is willing to pay per year. When I went to get my teeth cleaned, they drilled on four of my good teeth to put in fillings. It's insane. It's one thing to maximize their revenue, it's another to ruin perfectly good teeth.
oww I am so sad to hear this, sadly this doesn't happen only where you are, I am from another country and we have the same issue, better get a reliable dentist and stick to him or they will even threaten your life with those invasive expensive procedures, my mom got an infection and that was very dangerous
ehhhh no, this is WRONG to do, don't get me wrong... but the effect on healthcare prices is minuscule. The industry is greedy, they collude, and they're inefficient (culpable to fraud as you see in the video)... they're way behind in tech, good god I'm in the process of trying to find a PCP.... none of them are in sync w/ their online platforms and there is no sync w/ the insurance data systems... it's a mess. The care is good, but the system is a mess... these small players are not what makes it so expensive
The reason it's expensive is because of capitalism. Price gouging. And you have no choice. You either get the healthcare or you die... Patents on it create monopolies too, so the prices are jacked up. The only solution is universal healthcare.
got another take on faud. ive been on disability for 15 years. never talked to a doctor or shrink... noone returns phone calls. how does one get assistance even though they are disabled?
It stands to reason that the ability to create companies without enough information for these to point to their constituents for the purposes of accountability in a timely and expedite fashion is at the heart of most of the U.S.A.s economical woes. But what do I know.
They already did. The government has been robbing money from the Medicare and Social Security fund for decades. They basically stole the money we paid in and used it for something else. Pretty nuch exactly what they are arresting these people for.
Here I am as a legitimate small business trying to get medicare certified which has taken me 2 years and counting to meet all the requirements to do business with CMS.
that's the easy' part...fire-inspection CO (for the building)...initial audit (while you're still pro-bono)..pass< open for business...the hard''' part will be getting authorization from 4 different ins.companies(manged care) .with 4 different criteria (for that) , dealing w/ their reimbursement-rate which will be lower than on your estimated-performer (business-plan) and their rate and authorizations will get lower ...every 2 years ...GL /// hmu if u have any questions
crime pays.... gets 12 years in prison.... steals 120 million dollars. Basically paying the guy 10 million a year to sit in prison. While justifying an entire corrupt legal system funded by taxpayers.
This is the problem when so much of our tax dollars is uncontrollable. To people and agencies have there hands involved and virtually impossible to track where any of the money goes.
My question is why it keep happening over and over? This is Tax payers money who work hard with short checks taking care of their families and someone play with Medicare money like this is painful😭😭
People consent to it. They are told by people in authority that only "very bad people" get this treatment. It's all a lie. They're just really scared people being kidnapped from their homes and imprisoned for months and then Medicare gets billed. They are not treated at all either. One hospital doing this is Arbour Hospital in Jamaica Plain Massachusetts. But it's even bigger than this because when you do the digging you find out that Abour is owned by Universal Health Services which is the second largest owner of abandoned and defunct facilities in this country and that they only have one competitor who owns and control the other half.

How do they get their fraudulent charges approved? I live in Florida. Every time I go to the doctor, medicare/medicaid refuses the charges and I pay out of pocket. Someone within the medicaid program is helping by approving the charges because medicare refuses all my legitimite bills. These fake bills would never be paid if they went through the same process as my medical bills.
Billions spent, Zero oversight, Zero accountability, what could go wrong? This is our Federal Government at work, and why you should never let them anywhere near your life.
@@lolcatjunior How do you know? Do you have a crystal ball? These people can not clean up feces and drug needles off the streets of major cities. These people have no solution to the endless surge of homelessness in this country. These people enable crime in their communities. These people can not control the border and prevent millions of tons of fentanyl from flowing into this country. They have no solutions and only create problems that destroy everything they touch. Given their track record, you want me to allow these same people with a "lowest bidder" mentality to manage my personal health care? Are you insane, or are the drugs you are taking that good? As soon as healthcare in this country becomes nationalized, you will have two healthcare systems in this country. 1.) A system for the rich (those who can pay out of pocket for the best doctors, medicines, and facilities). 2.) A system for everyone else. As soon as you start putting caps on doctor's and nurse's salaries, fewer qualified people in this country will be willing to invest their time and money in becoming doctors due to the lack of a Return on Investment. This will create a shortage of health care providers in this country. To back fill the need for doctors and nurses, standards will be lowered to allow people, who would not have been previously qualified , to attend medical school. Furthermore, given the demand on personnel due to shortages, experienced doctors will be more inclined to move away from larger cities and to areas where there is less bureaucracy and work.
The state of Florida is also known for where all the old folks flock towards to live out their retirement life. These old people or their generation doesn't know any better and most aren't informed enough or kept up with the ever changing times. So I think most of these types of frauds is easily possible with such citizens.
How is it so "easy it's easy, easy" for them to just take it, but damn near impossible for patients to get fully covered without going broke themselves?

And all those gobs and gobs of illegal dollars can be spent to make shady ops even more untouchable. ;) That's the system, baby! If it doesn't make dollars, then it doesn't make sense.
If I had millions, I'd probably be forced to become corrupt JUST TO *SURVIVE*. Otherwise, trust me, the cartels, mafia, or yakuza would definitely wreck me, lol. Seriously, though. People need to be aware of those who are in CONTROL. Pro tip: it ain't the "governments" of any given country.
nah. These who got caught were small potato. Big thieves don't go to jail. They go to the congress.
The Republicans who keep calling for the complete dismantlement of Medicare/Medicaid _are_ the same Republicans who benefitted handsomely for defrauding Medicare/Medicaid. Can't wait for a suffocating horde of "enlightened centrist" fake TH-cam user account trolls to mass-accuse us for being the real trolls, smear us for being libs, cite this as the reason Medicare/Medicaid must be cancelled, and still claim with a straight face that _they_ - the people committing the very fraud - are the unsung heroes in this story.

Wait, why are doctors allowed to be selling patient info to ANYONE?! I'd be investigating that.
It’s not just doctors. I’m sure staff assist in the fraud
that's actually insane. where I live that information is extremely sensitive and a dr is not allowed to share ur information with anyone.
Guessing that the doctors are approached by the fraudsters and given incentives to steer business to the fraudsters for kickbacks. The legit patients are directed to the legit DME providers. Doctors can be greedy a-holes too.
And if the doctors are ethical, that does not mean his employees with access to private patient data can not be bribed to give those patient information to the scammers. Just brainstorming how fraudsters can get their hands on real patient info, without going to the dark web.
This should be HIPPA violation...
They're not allowed to be selling or giving out medical information. It's in violation of the HIPAA Law.
It sounds like we need to greatly increase the penalty for defrauding the Medicaid program. Turning that 12 year prison sentence to 25 might be a good start. Seizing property, like that guys home where he buried the money wouldn't be bad either.
Spot on 👌
100 years- is more like it-!!!!
Absolutely.. because are they really going to serve all 12... Get out for good behavior... I hope that they are prohibited from owning a business ever and they should do community service when they get out as part of their probation and have to keep paying money back for the rest of their lives because they took over a system where they've really taken away from the children and adults that need medical supplies right now because they're sickly... Not including the people who are healthy now but will also be in need one day 😭
they only recovered 2.5M ..the guy billed 49M(unless I'm mistaken)...but sounds like he has plenty more buried somewhere?

Insurance companies hires lawyers to prevent them from paying full benefits or totally deny by finding faults on the insured person...
Would be so easy to prevent (nearly) all of this: require photo ID and a signature from the supposed recipient of the medical treatment.

@@Alvarocious Why?
Theres people like this ruining lives en mass yet I see people every day getting pulled over for doing 75 in a 70 just commuting to their mundane day job.
It seems quite a simple solution... to show Medicare recipients a quarterly or monthly explanation of benefits and on it, show a number or website to contact to report fraudulent charges. Incentivize their reporting. They'll get a certain set amount for each firm that they report that turns out to be fraudulent.
I get 2-3 calks a month from some people (from "pain management" to saying they are Medicare) wanting to send me something my doctor prescribed. As I get all medical care from the VA. I hang up. so no place or website to contact to report fraudulent charges.
Now add to that how Medicare is billed for services never rendered, nickel and dime amounts, and once reported with evidence, nothing happens other than Medicare continues to be billed for treatment never performed.
That kind of incentivazation could backfire too. Medicaid or Medicare recipients may be cash strapped and could start reporting legitimate businesses as fraudulent just to collect the reward.
A lot of the stealing below begins with the help of homeless shelters and social services throughout the U.S. Some property owners (who receive the government funds from tenants) and government officials are involved with this theft.
Why do we pay taxes when the government just throws them out to crooks? Sure the crooks needs to be charged, but the higher ups at Medicare etc also needs to take responsibility. Put their jobs at risk and see how high they jump.
Unfortunately, the crooks are also in your Dr. 's and insurance office.
You're asking accountants to be doctors.
And THAT is the fundamental problem. Making profits in a capitalistic society is antithetical to "do no harm".

Nonsense. Why can the for profit insurance companies sniff out fraud, but a government run program cannot. The government hires inept workers and has no fraud detection measures. We need less government.
CHICAGO COOK COUNTY HOSPITAL NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.
Some years ago a finger cut sent me to the ER. Despite only needing wound dressing, I was billed $2700. An other doctor looked at my finger for 2-3 seconds which resulted in an extra charge of $285. The experience left me very skeptical of the medical system.
Truth. The American medical system is corrupt to it's core.
@CW The funniest part is that most countries do have private healthcare as well - the public sector in most of the world is chronically underfunded, leading to long waiting times and sometimes also occasionally questionable quality. But the very existence of said public sector sets up a bottom line - the private sector needs to justify its existence by providing the extra service (faster and/or better quality) at prices that people would be willing to pay.
In USA the healthcare and health insurance industries basically keep the population hostage - and this imbalance of power lets them set prices and engage in practices that would never fly elsewhere.
In Europe, if you have some money, you probably want to get private insurance (higher end jobs tend to include it in benefits package) and you'll mostly be using private healthcare, but the combined contribution to public healthcare you don't use and private you do use will still give you better value for money than the insurance in USA.
The one exception is if you are REALLY loaded, because the top level best-money-can-buy care in USA usually is really the best-money-can-buy of the world. Then again, if you're that loaded elsewhere, you'll probably be able to use the US (or wherever the best care for your specific problem happens to be) healthcare anyway - borders aren't much of a problem for the rich.
@CW thank god for being canadian. i went to ER once when i was a kid and didnt have to pay a dime. only bad thing is... if you need surgery and it isnt an emergency you have to wait MONTHS. like my mom needed surgery to reduce pressure in her eyes so she can see... she waited 4-5 months.

In Tennessee I see SO MANY beyond wealthy people enriching themselves further in our BROKEN health care system.
How
@wild_taco_ gone crazy corona several reasons from drug prices to the agreements that insurance companies have with health services. They make up an insanely high price knowing that insurance will pay a fraction of list price so they overbill at inflated prices. Also, sales ppl who refer ppl with insurance to rehabs across this country get 25%-40% of what the rehab charges for referring them, and logistically getting them there by booking a flight. Companies like ACA in Nashville are part of the reason a rehab costs $2,000 PER DAY for the bed + the health care.
That kind of thing is why hospitals charge twenty two dollars for an aspirin. Our system is broken and people are getting rich exploiting it.

As soon as healthcare in this country becomes nationalized, you will have two healthcare systems in this country. 1.) A system for the rich (those who can pay out of pocket for the best doctors, medicines, and facilities). 2.) A system for everyone else. As soon as you start putting caps on doctor's and nurse's salaries, fewer qualified people in this country will be willing to invest their time and money in becoming doctors due to the lack of a Return on Investment. This will create a shortage of health care providers in this country. To back fill the need for doctors and nurses, standards will be lowered to allow people, who would not have been previously qualified , to attend medical school. Furthermore, given the demand on personnel due to shortages, experienced doctors will be more inclined to move away from larger cities and to areas where there is less bureaucracy and work.
